You Are My Sunshine. The Miracle of a Brother's Song. (True Story)

Woman's Day Magazine called this The Miracle of a Brother's Song. This is a sweet, inspiring miracle and true story.(Be prepared to get watery eyes!)

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling.

They found out that the new baby was going be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in mommy's tummy..

He was building a bond of love with his little sister before he even met her.

The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown , Tennessee

In time, the labor pains came. Soon it was every five minutes, every three, every minute. But serious complications arose during delivery and
Karen found herself in hours of labor.

Would a C-section be required? Finally, after a long struggle, Michael's little sister was born. But she was in very serious condition.

With a siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary 's Hospital, Knoxville ,
Tennessee. The days inched by. The little girl got worse. The pediatrician had to tell the parents there was very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.

Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery about a burial plot. They had fixed up a special room in their house for their new baby but now they found themselves having to plan for a funeral. Michael, however, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. I want to sing to her, he kept saying.

Week two in intensive care looked as if a funeral would come before the week was over.

Michael kept nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. Karen decided to take Michael whether they liked it or not.

If he didn't see his sister right then, he may never see her alive. She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU. He looked like a walking laundry basket.

The head nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed, 'Get that kid out of here now. No children are allowed.' The mother rose up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed right into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. 'He is not leaving until he sings to his sister,' she stated.

Then Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live.. After a moment, he began to sing.
In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: 'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray.' Instantly the baby girl seemed to respond. The pulse rate began to calm down and become steady.

'Keep on singing, Michael,' encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. 'You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.' As Michael sang to his sister, the baby's ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as a kitten's purr, 'Keep on singing, sweetheart..'

'The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms.' Michael's little sister began to relax as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her.

'Keep on singing, Michael.' Tears had now conquered the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glowed. 'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don't take my sunshine away.'

The next day.....the very next day the little girl was well enough to go home.

Woman's Day Magazine called it The Miracle of a Brother's Song.

The medical staff just called it a miracle.

Karen called it a miracle of God's love.

NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

LOVE IS SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.

Life is good.

Have a Wonderful Day!

Dairy and Meats Industry Spend Millions on Ads Making Us Think We Need More Protein...

http://dietforahappyplanet.com/protein/

By Christopher Westra:

Main Idea: Our bodies thrive with ten percent protein or less. Fruit and green leaves provide all the amino acids we need to build our bodies.

John Robbins is the author of May All Be Fed. In his book, John shows study after study showing the health dangers of a high protein diet. High protein intakes are linked to osteoporosis.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell wrote The China Study. The China study was one of the largest research projects in the world. The study showed that high protein intake leads to increased cancer rates.

Dr. Campbell says that we need only 5 to 6 percent of our daily calories coming from protein to build and repair our bodies.

Douglas Graham is the author of the 80/10/10 Diet and is also a lifelong athlete and coach. He says that even for athletes and bodybuilders, ten percent protein is still plenty.

Tim Van Orden is a runner who lives on a fruit based diet and is doing extremely well. See his website at http://RunningRaw.com for videos and race results. He just turned 40 at the time I’m writing this book and he’s winning races!

Tim is an inspiration to me as I’m a mountain runner myself. I hope to race with him soon. I’m a couple years older than Tim.

Fruit and green leaves will provide you with all the protein you need. See some figures below. These figures are from Nutridiary.com, which gets most of their date from the USDA Nutrient Database:

Apricots - 10% Protein, 6% Fat, 84% Carbohydrate

Bananas - 4% Protein, 3% Fat, 93% Carbohydrate

Cucumbers – 15% Protein, 5% Fat, 80% Carbohydrate

Oranges - 7% Protein, 2% Fat, 91% Carbohydrate

Peaches - 8% Protein, 5% Fat, 87% Carbohydrate

Lettuce – 24% Protein, 13% Fat, 63% Carbohydrate

Papaya - 6% Protein, 3% Fat, 91% Carbohydrate

Strawberries - 8% Protein, 8% Fat, 84% Carbohydrate

More protein is not better. Human mother’s milk is just 5 to 7 percent protein and that is for a rapidly growing infant!

Don’t take my word for it. Do your own research into the protein issue. You will find that a diet of varied fruits, a few vegetables, and leaves will meet all requirements.

Why then do so many people think we need to eat more protein? The answer is simple. The meat and dairy industries spend millions on advertising to make us think we need more protein.

Action Items:

Eat just fruits and greens for 30 days while exercising regularly. You will get enough protein to build muscle.

When you hear an “expert” claiming we need high protein, track down the source. Most often, the source will be linked to the meat and dairy industries.

FDA Regulating Tobacco Industry Now= Us Getting Screwed Over

has anyone heard about what the FDA wants to do to the tobacco industry now that they HAVE THE RIGHT to regulate it? NO more flavored cigarettes, Flavored cigars (this means blunts & blunt wraps,) no more colored packaging, no more late night stops at the gas station (cause they won't be able to carry them BY LAW!), you will have to scan you ID card into a system every time you buy a tobacco product Your information will be sent to the FDA who will share this information with your health & life insurance companies which will directly affect your premium. Cigarette store will have blacked out windows like porn stores, no more LIGHT/ FULL Flavor/ MEDUIM/ ULTRA LIGHT ciggs. No more smokers rights period!

I feel smoking is a right. If the person is of the smoking age, it is their right to smoke. Its bad enough they limit where people can smoke, but now to take away the basic right of which kind of cigarettes we can buy? AND they share that info with the insurance companies!! That is BS! Sounds like the ... Read Moregovernment is in bed with the insurance companies. While many of us knew that all along, it now seems they are openly airing that information. There has to be some kind of petition or something going on that we can show our displeasure with what is going on. This is wrong.

If anyone knows of any petition going around, or anything like the sort, where we can have our voices heard please please let me know.

Schadenfreude- Pocket Tazer Story...

I normally only post things of great importance. I think I am going to start adding some funny things too. Life is too short not to take a minute and laugh. This post is reminds me of the song Schadenfreude (If you dont know that reference- go to youtube and listen to the song from the musical Avenue Q). Anyways, I was sent this email this week:

A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their
anniversary submitted this:

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading
glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5"
long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and
(loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself,
'no possible way!' What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...

I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dumbass,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and ?
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE HELL!!!

I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, and then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one
note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor... A three second burst would be considered conservative. IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at
that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and
surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

P.S... My wife, who can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!

Excerpt from Earl Nightingales "The Strangest Secret" from 1957- 1st Gold Record...

In 1957, Earl Nightingale, speaker, author and co founder of the Nightingale-Conant Corporation, recorded his classic motivational record "The Strangest Secret." "The Strangest Secret" sold over one million copies and made history in the recording industry by being honored as the first Gold Record for the spoken word. Nightingale, known as the "dean of personal development," concluded that life's "strangest secret" is that we become what we think about all day long.

Your belief system, like your computer, doesn't judge or even question what you input; it merely accepts your thoughts as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Think thoughts of defeat or failure and you're bound to feel discouraged. Continuous thoughts of worry, anxiety and fear are unhealthy and often manifest in the body as stress, panic attacks and depression.

At the core of Earl's message, he reveals the incredible power of positive self-talk, belief and expectation. What you vividly imagine and hold in your subconscious mind begins to out picture as your reality. Your belief system not only defines your reality, but it also shapes your character and determines your potential.

Earl Nightingale's radio recording that he called The Strangest Secret electrified his listeners all over the country. The stations that carried his syndicated show were deluged with requests for copies of it.

As a result, the audio version of Nightingale's message was recorded, and sold over 1 million copies. In fact, Earl Nightingale's recording of The Strangest Secret was the first non-music record to exceed the one million mark!

An excerpt from
The Strangest Secret
by Earl Nightingale

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.

We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."

Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.

The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant it must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

Social Security and the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan

I received this as an email and figured blogspot is an appropriate place to post this. I have heard of the Golden Fleece Retirement plan before. This is real. And we, as the people, have the power to change it. I dont know about you, but I feel in America we are all supposed to be equal. I dont feel equal when our representatives can vote in a health care plan for themselves, but leave us, the people they represent out on the street as far as they are concerned. These are the people who are saying single payer health care can not work. Thats ok with you, right? I sure as heck hope not. While they are receiving money to take care of themselves forever-literally until they die, curtsy of you and me (the tax payers), we are left struggling to take care of our loved ones medical conditions.

START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY


----------------------------------

SOCIAL SECURITY:

(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.

Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.

You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.

In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.

For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments...

For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275, 000..00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.

Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.

Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA!!! ZILCH!!!

This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;

"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer), We can expect to get an average of
$1,000 per month after retirement.

Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!

Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.

That change would be to

Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen.. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us

Then sit back.....

And see how fast they would fix it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.


How many people can YOU send this to?

Better yet......

How many people WILL you send this to ?

Day 4

I am on day 4. I have not had any meat in 4 days. I have not spoken to anyone online about this because I am not looking for a pat on the back or for someone to tell me good job. I am doing this because of personal issues that have come up in my life.

This started years ago. But this came up again about a month ago.

My little sister got her lip pierced and my mother took her to a tattoo and piercing shop to make sure she was ok. Thats where mom met a very nice Jewish man- he was about 23. He talked about a lot of interesting things from what mom told me. I wont go into detail about what he spoke about- because it wasnt about becoming a vegetarian and I dont want to confuse the subject of this blog.

But he mentioned science using pig hearts for human surgeries. He went on and said that pigs are the closest on the inside of the body to humans.

Thats where my mom comes in. She started having trouble eating pig thinking about it being too similar to human flesh.

She is NOT a vegetarian. In fact, I told her that I do not have an interest in meat anymore because I couldnt stand thinking about the flesh sitting in my stomach- she told me, "dont think about it and eat it."

I know she meant well. I know she is concerned I will not be getting enough protein. But, it would have been nice for her to understand instead of give me the feeling she wants me to just get over it.

Matt has been polite and quiet about it when I talk. The only thing he has said is, "you're not going to give up my bbq chicken right?"

I told my boss (who is a vegetarian) via email asking for assistance. His reply. Learn how to spell vegetarian correctly first.

So far, I have not had a strong support group helping me with this.

This is difficult for me. Im at a crossroad. I love the taste of meat, but it is really bothering me thinking about it.

This is a whole new life style for me. I really would like a friend who lives at the beach who understood. Maybe help me find a nice vegetarian restaurant or exchange some nice vegan recipes...

But for now, at least I have my own peace of mind.

2012- The Science Behind A New World Age: Gregg Braden Interview

Hello. This is a VERY excited post for me. Today is my birthday and I wanted to share something special with you. I spent literally hours and hours transcribing this interview between Jennifer McLean and Gregg Braden on a phone interview on Healing With The Masters.

The interview can still be purchased along with the transcripts here: http://www.healingwiththemasters.com/buy.htm

I decided to give you the most important parts of the interview so I have taken out much of the dialogue in the beginning and left the meat of the subject. Its still really lengthy, but if you are interested in 2012 I'm sure you will be glad that it is as long as it is. It is FULL of scientific information to wet you appetite. Hope you enjoy!

Introduction to Gregg Braden:

NY Times best seller, Gregg Braden, is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality.

Following a very successful career as a computer geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970’s energy crisis. He became a senior computer systems designer for Martin Marietta Defense systems during the last year of the cold war. In 1991 he was appointed the first technical operations manager for Cisco Systems where he led the development of the global support team that assures the reliability of today’s internet.

For more than 20 years Gregg has searched high mountains village, remote monasteries and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets.

Today his works have left such paradigm shattering books as, The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, and the Spontaneous Healing of Belief, which was released last year. It is about shattering the paradigm of false limits.

Gregg’s works are now published in 17 languages in 27 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past.

He continues that with Fractal Time. The Secret of 2012. A New World Age.

Gregg merges the Modern discovery of nature’s pattern, fractals, with the ancient view of the universe. The result is a powerful model of time, fractal time. And a realistic time window into what we can expect from our lives, and for the world as we approach 2012. The end of the current world age and beyond.

We have an opportunity to choose our future. Can we create a new epoch of peace, cooperation and healing? Is definitely the questions we are going to explore tonight.

Gregg thanks everyone listening/reading and tells us why:

I want to thank every single person that is on this call tonight. I want to let you to know how much I love you and I love all that you’ve done with in your world and your lives to bring us to this point where we on this planet today. And these calls are so important because this is where change begins.

It takes 5 to 8 years for new ideas to trickle down through the classroom and become accepted broadly in academy and the kind of changes that we are talking right now are happening so quickly, 5-8 years later its all over. We have this rare precious beautiful opportunity hour tonight to cut right to the bottom to myths a lot of misunderstandings about our time in history, great cycles of time and the opportunities that are available to ever to every one of us to literally to cast a vote of consciousness in terms of where we are going and how this time in history, this rare pivotal moments we are all feelings, right now in our lives. How this turn out because everyone of the ancients traditions says we are writing our the ending in this chapter in our history while we are being given the challenges and no body knows how its going to come out. We are choosing it so Jennifer I want to thank you and say those things as we go into our program tonight.

What’s the big deal with 2012? They said well you know, its a special, mystical year. And I thought why not a really cool even rounded number like 2000 you know or 2020. Why 2012? And of course back in the 80’s 2012 seemed like a life time in the future.

And I began a journey to understand what that date meant to me. I quickly understood and discovered that the only way that that date to make sense was if I began to understand huge cycles of time and how Earths relationship to other heavenly bodies changes within those cycles of time, and how those changes brings profound changes to the physical reality of planet Earth and the people that are living during those periods of time.

It’s a journey that continues, it’s been 22 years in the making the book Fractal Time Secret of 2012 The New World Age, is what I knew when this book was written in 2007 and 2008 and it all centers around our relationship to these powerful bodies of energy in the heavens and how we go through these cyclic changes in our lives.

The bottom line for me, is that I discovered that Earth does go through cyclic changes and each time the cycles occurs, the conditions for each new cycle are very similar, not identical, but they are similar to the conditions that have already happened in the past. And what that told me was that whatever was going to happen on this 2012 date, the mystical end date of the last cycle of the Mayan calendar. Whatever is going to happen on that date; or in that zone of time, maybe not on that specific day, to some degree has happened in the past and if we know how to read the cycles of time, if we know how to look in the past we can give ourselves some really concrete ideas. Factual ideas based on factual discoveries of what we can expect.

Because for many people and as I travel the world I am finding this and I am sure that many of our listeners are finding the same thing, we are speaking to the choir tonight, and I will call the listeners the choir because we talk about this stuff all the time. But what I am finding is that many don’t talk about this all the time.

And the first insight that they are having into the mystery of 2012 are though the very frightening documentaries that are being carried on the on cable channels and if they missed those, there is a Hollywood, full length motion picture complete with very frightening special effects that’s going to be released the end of 2009 simply called 2012, and all of these very frightening images are portraying, literally portraying the end of the world as we know it now. And there are survival groups throughout the world in North America, Europe, and Australia who have already gone into bunkers and taken provisions because they believe the end is close to what is interpreted as the end of the world.

So in the 80’s when I would ask people, Id say, “What does this date mean to you”, for every person I asked I got a different idea. For some said the end of the world and others literally said the beginning of 1000 years of peace and they couldn’t wait for it to get here. I knew it probably wasn’t going to be both, so my man brain wanted to know which is it and how could I make sense of it, and that is what led me on the journey to what we are discussing tonight.

Can I share just 3 discoveries that modern science has made in the last few years that link us into the ancient wisdom and traditions of this date?

One of the things I found quickly was that almost universally. Ancient texts have always talked about our time in history They always said something big was going to happen Those traditions are generally- they lived very close to the earth they are not technological traditions. So they left clues and signs in terms of how we would know when this pivotal point was arriving. They left those clues in terms of signs of nature. So for example when a white Buffalo is born on the plains of North America or when the seasons change and you can’t grow corn in Nebraska in the middle of August any more you know, or a blue star appears in the sky. Those are very cool signs and they are meaningful but to a scientist it makes them crazy because they can’t do anything definitive with such a generalized sign. They’re open to speculation.

We quickly found that the Mayans however, the ancient Mayans, were the only civilization that we know of so far, there could be others, we have not found those yet to the best of my knowledge; That developed a system of time keeping that was so accurate and it is based in numbers that link to verifiable phenomena. The numbers link to things that we can confirm in the heavens. Alignments between planets and star systems. The solstice, the winter solstice of December 21 of 2012 that marks the end of this great cycle that we are experiencing right now.

The Mayans used these numbers and they are more precise than anything we developed until the 20th century with computers and satellites. We could probably in the future Jennifer At some point we could have –How did they know? Who were they? Where did they come from? Where did they get that information? They left a legacy. And they began a count down shows that we are living a moment in time that only 5 generations in recorded human history has ever experienced. Only 5 generations. And the last human that walked the earth and experience what we are about to experience now in this great cycle, lived 1700 years before the biblical Exodus from Egypt. That’s how long ago it was this happened. And this is important to know because, probably, no one living today has a direct memory of the last time we went through this cycle. I don’t think there are any 5000 year old people. You never know. I’m on a 200 year plan, that’s as far as I am looking right now. But we now know is we are coming to the end of a rare cycle that is marked by verifiable phenomena. This cycle began in 3114 BC. It ends with the winter solstice, December 21, 2012 AD. a cycle that is 5125 years long. This cycle is the 5th of 5 such cycles that make an even bigger cycle that is about 26,000 years long called the Pre-cession, not procession, the precession of the equinoxes. And this 26000 year cycle, is the cycle that describes a wobble that earth does in the heaves. A long slow wobble, from one side to another, and as Earth wobbles over this 26,000 year period, what happens is, if you sitting on planet earth and you are looking at the stars, the scenery changes over that 26000 because earth tilt. Earths wobble is changing.

Somehow the Mayans knew this. They knew that we were at the end of not only a not 5000 year cycle but at the last of a 26000 year cycle. We are about to live in this rare moment both the close of a 5000, as well as the close of the 26000 year cycle. So when I began to understand that I thought, so what’s the big deal? Why is this important? This is where these discoveries that I mentioned come in. Because Modern science in the last few years has confirmed in the last few years what the ancients were telling us in non scientific language.

Number 1 is that there is a powerful source of energy at the very center, at the core, the hub of our Milky Way Galaxy. A powerful source of magnetic energy. Some ancients traditions called it the Great Central Sun. And that source of energy has a powerful influence on life on planet earth. That’s the first discovery. Maybe to earth to us intuitively we have always known that. But this is modern science in peer review journals.

This is discovery number 1. Source of energy influences earth

Number 2: Is that the effect of those energy change on a cyclic basis over a long periods of time and that’s a big discovery for modern science.

Number 3 That those cycles can be measured and calculated and predicted.

And those 3 discoveries give new meaning to what our ancestors were saying to us. And it makes total sense. When we are at one point in our orbit in the Milky Way around this source of energy we are further away and the wobble tilts us away from this energy source so it affects us less.

Where we are right now is that we are relatively closer. We are tilting toward the energy source. And Dec 21 in the year 2012 marks the point in the tilt where we are in direct alignment. We’ve got a Straight shot. Unimpeded access to the energy of the Of the magnetic fields that are coming from that source to planet earth.

In the past what we know, geologically that this field of energy has brought big changes upon Earth. But they don’t happen in a day. We are talking huge systems. We are talking about solar systems and galaxies of planets and as they come into that alignment-it doesn’t happen in a day. It happens over long periods of time. And the reason I am saying this is because we are already well into the 2012 zone of change.

And we are already experiencing some of the most profound changes. And the frightening ones that the prophecies have always talked about. So rather than waiting for those things and fearing them coming 3 years from now. This is 2009. What we know is that we are already living some of the major magnitude earthquakes more of them that we have seen in recorded history And we have already seen tsunamis that are wiping cities off the shore line. And super storms that are taking cities and villages from the coast. We are already living multiple raging fires that we can not control on different continents at the same time. We are already living millions of people dying from disease we have no cure for. We are already living the changes in the weather patterns that prevent us from growing food like we used to.

And we all know that is not the only things that are happening. There are a lot of really good things happening on our planet right now. So instead of focusing on the frightening things they say are going to happen to me it helps to bear in mind that we are already seeing many of those things already.

Before we get off this call tonight, I’m going to share yet 2 more discoveries that tell how each of us how we are directly linked into the field of energy that regulates the conditions of life on earth and we are linked in a way that allows us to do something inside of our hearts that literally helps to smooth the chaos of this field of energy. And the only way that we can accomplish this is if we work together. That’s where we are going to go with our program tonight. So that was a long question t a short question with a lto of material. But I wanted to do it early.

What I began to understand was this: These cycles of time, this isn’t the first time earth has gone through one of these cycles. And before I worked at the defense industry as a computer science, I was a geologist as a computer scientist or a computer scientist working in the field of geology.

And what that told, is that we have places on this planet where earth has a preserved a library, a record of the history of every year on this planet, at least for the last 500,000 years and one of these places is the ice cores or the ice caps in Antarctica.

Every year there is new layer of ice that’s deposited. And with that ice it captures air bubbles of the atmosphere and it captures literally the chemical elements that are present in the air during that period of time. From that we can learn about how strong earths magnetic fields were the year those things were captured. We can learn what were the temperatures on the planet. Were the sea levels high or were the sea levels low? Were the ice caps melting or were they freezing? Did the sun have a strong influence or a weak influence? We can learn all those things geologically. And we can do that to 500000 years ago.

Now for humans, we haven’t had big civilizations, we believe, for 500,000 years so we look into archeological records. And We can go back in the archeological records 10-15000 years and say how were people responding to these changes. What do we know about those civilizations? And that’s what I’ve done in the book. We talk about cycles of time in general and Fractal time. And the key with fractal time is if you know where to look in the past. You have a good understanding of what you can expect in the present and the future. And with that in mind, we’ve Applied these principals specifically to 2012 and that is what you and I are talking about tonight. I know this is a bottom line audience tonight. So I am going to cut right to the bottom line. Because our time is really flying. Our fractal time is flying tonight.

So we find that if we go into these records and we know where to look we know what to expect. And using the rhythms and the patterns of nature that govern life and time we can do some very Simple mathematics I describe it in the book and I know a lot of people are not into math in the book so I put it all in the appendices but some people don’t want to do the appendices so we’ve actually automated a way for you to do these calculations for your own called the Time Code Calculator. We’ll talk about that more in a minute. Using the algorhythym and simple math and the time code calculator what we know is if we look at the key dates in past, and we talk about cycles, these dates are called seeds- s-e-e-d. So a seed, is a date where an event that occurred that put into motion a pattern of energy that will repeat following natural rhythms throughout time until something changes that cycle.

Jennifer: And we can read about this in the archeological and the physical data base of the earth.

Gregg: We can and what’s more is we can see it in our personal lives. Because our personal cycles of love, trust, hurt, and betrayal and success, and abundance. They all began with a seed event that leaves a strong emotional imprint. That puts into motion a cycle that will repeat in our personal lives until something changes it and you can calculate that using the calculator as well. We will talk about that in a couple minutes.


But the bottom line for what we can expect. When I went back and looked at the ice cores for Antarctica, I looked at 2 dates. One of them is 1155 BC is one of the first seed dates. The other was 13824 BC was the second seed date. How we got to those are described in the book and the calculations.

Those dates using natural rhythms are the seeds that put into motion the events that we can expect to experience in the year 2012 and around that zone time. And What makes it so interesting, is when I look at the magnetic field of the earth, the earths magnetic strengths. Earth magnetic fields, you can think of those as the buffer or the blanket that protects us from solar radiation, from solar wind and the high energy particles in the cosmos that are coming our way. Its like a big warm fuzzy blanket that takes good care of us.

So what we know is that this blanket protects us, when we go through these cycles because of the tilt of the earth and where we are, the blanket becomes a little weaker and as the blanket is weaker and if the blanket get weaker, we have greater influences from these sources of energy. So what we find is that in both of our seed dates, both 1155 BC and 1324 BC; the magnetic fields of the earth became weaker, just like they have become in the last 130 years now that we know. Our magnetic fields are weaker now than they have been in 2000 years. But don’t worry because they are still really, really strong, they are just weaker than they have been in past times.

And we know that when they get weaker it allows more solar energy to penetrate on to the Earth which is exactly what is happening right now. And it happened in both 1155BC and 1324 BC. When that occurs the oceans heats up a little bit. The atmosphere heats up a little bit. Which is precisely what we are experiencing right now. And that warming is usually between 1 and 2 degrees Celsius. Which is right where we are right now.

And when that happens, the ice on both poles begins to melt and that ice is holding a lot of water, the water has to go somewhere, it goes into the oceans. The sea level begins to rise and the cold water changes the temperature in the oceans and that changes climate which begins to change weather patterns and all of a sudden you can’t grow corn in Nebraska maybe in August the way you have done in the past.

So when we look at these parameters; We just covered, magnetic strengths, solar output, climate status and ice. We just covered all of those. When we look at the past at the key dates for the year 2012, what we find is that although earth has definitely gone through a dramatic shift in the last 130 years or so, that that shift has brought us precisely into alignment with where it appears we always are when we reach this point in the cycle.

And now it is important to see how civilizations in the past have responded to the changes in their world that we are finding in ours to see if they made mistakes then that we can recognize and avoid in making in our time right now.

For me this is what begins to tell the story.

First of all when we go back 13824 BC we didn’t have any big civilizations then. So the one I'm going to look at first in our program tonight 1155BC. If there are any historians on this call tonight, you know this date. It’s the exact date the calculator gave us, based on the year 2012, using the rhythms of nature. It also is the exact date that one of the greatest civilizations on the face of the earth in the history of our world collapsed when they faced the same kinds of challenges then that we are facing in our cycle now. They didn’t understand why the changes were happening. And in their fear, the way they responded to the changes led to the end of a great civilization.

So what happened was the climate changed because of where they were in the cycle. They couldn’t grow food the same way. They began fighting with their neighbors and they entered into multiple wars. Multiple wars with different countries that spread their armies so thin they couldn’t maintain these wars. And the economy was stretched so much, that the economy collapsed. They went broke trying to sustain the wars. Trying to gather the diminishing resources from a changing world. And they collapsed and that was the end of one of the greatest dynasties, and greatest superpowers that time on the face of the earth.

Now archeologically, Jennifer this is really interesting, archeologists now are finding remnants of highly advanced civilizations, that go further back history says we should have advanced civilizations. And interestingly enough, they are finding them, and they are correlating those dates with the cycle before Egypt collapsed, the time before that. And these particular remnants are being found in an area. A very interesting area, between what is now Pakistan and India, on what is called the Ragestan plains. And I’ve talked about this in some other books. Highly advanced civilization; hot/cold running water, closed sewage systems, glass windows, a system of writing that to this date, no one has ever translated. So if anyone listening tonight wants some homework, there is a language that has never been decoded that very probably tells us what happened to them, so maybe we can avoid the mistakes in our time. But even if we never understand the cycles are giving us insight. Because they collapsed in what appears to be a war time setting, and this is what archeologists are saying that occurred when their cycle brought about a change in their world.

So what were seeing, and the parallels Jennifer are striking. You look at what’s happening, and I am not saying they are the same, but look at what’s happening in our world right now. We are engaged in multiple wars and a lot of them are over resources that are simply not sustainable resources. World economies are going broke in part, trying to sustain the military and the weapons development and all of the energy it takes to maintain those kinds of wars. And we are in precisely in alignment with the physical conditions. The magnetic fields of the earth right now are measured at a unit of about 7.5 on a scale that’s called a VDAM scale. Historically the magnetic fields of the earth have fallen to between 5 and a quarter and 10 and a half when we go through these cycles. 7.5 puts us right in line.

So for me, what this says to me, is that although the changes are intense and they appear abrupt to us, when you look at the big picture we are right in line with where we always are when we go through these changes. And I am less concerned about the natural phenomenon. I think we will get through those just fine.

What concerns me is the lesson these past civilizations apparently have not learned. And it’s about how we treat one another as a family on this planet when we go through the greatest challenges in 5000 years.

And this is the question we are posing to our audiences. This is our opportunity. And here is what I believe, I believe is happening. I think if we as a planet, if we can recognize that working together to get through this intense but brief period of change; If we can do this now because we need one another and we need to, to get through it, to survive, if we can do it now, I think we are going to find is that we like working together. And that we will continue to do it as a way of life, because we are better people. And we create a better world. Even when we are no longer challenged with the conditions of a great cycle. And I think this may be the gift of our 2012 window of opportunity, the conditions that come with the end of this great world age cycle are pushing us to evaluate what it is that works and what’s sustainable, what doesn’t work, what’s not sustainable and how we can work together to get all of us through this little, this narrow window of time. And the things that are not sustainable, the things that don’t work, stop doing them. Don’t put more energy into them. And the things that do work, lets do more of them.

And I think one of the greatest opportunities we have, physicists look at a little moment in time between cycles. When one cycle ends and the next begins, there is a little time that physicists call a “choice point.” For example the inhale and the exhale that all of are taking right now, there is a place between where neither one of those exists. In the esoteric tradition that is powerful moment where all possibilities lives. And if we think about this 2012, 5000 year window of time, then when that cycle ends by definition we begin a new cycle. But there is a place between where neither exists. And it is at that point where our choices are more potent than at any other time in the cycle. And that is where we may choose.

We look at all the frightening things that may happen and that’s when we may choose to walk away from that way of life to say that we choose as a planet to outgrow the habit of war to solve our problems, we choose to outgrow the use of nuclear weapons on civilian population for example. When we choose to stop basing our economy on something that is not sustainable, ever expanding markets and people profiting only through other peoples loss. That is the way our economy works now. That’s not sustainable.

So I think what we’re seeing consciously or not, Jennifer, I think we are seeing is a global evaluation. And I'm not saying everyone is aware of why it’s happening. But the conditions of the earth are forcing this reevaluation. When the weather changed and we started the food shortages, that’s what triggered a lot of the shift we’re seeing now and the greed that’s not sustainable. Surfaced very quickly. And I think that is what we are seeing now.

The Mayans said something very similar to this in another terminology. They didn’t know what our world would like 2000 years ago. But they said that this cycle has been akin to what they would call a gestation cycle and that we are like an embryo in the womb of our mother. And at the end of this 5000 year cycle the gestation is over and we are birthed into a new way of being. They didn’t say it’s the end of the world. It’s the end of a world age. And in this new way of being they said were probably not going to recognize the world or yourselves because the changes and the challenges have forced us to shift the way we live our lives. But I think we are better people and we have a better world because of it. I believe the value of the 2012 window of opportunity. A choice point created by natural phenomenon and by understanding cycles of time. We’re now giving ourselves the gift of looking into the past to know what we can realistically expect. And based on that we can learn from the past and do the things that make sense to do as we move into this new way of being. And for all tense and purposes, its already happening. We are already well into the shift. And I think that is the opportunity that we’re looking at right now. I know that was long, I just wanted to cover all of that before we got to questions.

Jennifer: It’s not long at all. But there is something you have talked about in all of your books. You have shown us that if we change our live, our beliefs, our thoughts, we can change our body, And ultimately can change the universe. The elements of earth are the same elements of our body. That’s part of this choice point, is that its part of the opportunity is for us as individuals to contribute to not being over whelmed with this, to not to be thrown into fear with this. And with that fear can create cataclysms in many ways.
Gregg: You said that beautifully. The answer is absolutely. But this leads us to the last little piece that I know we are going to have questions, and some other discussions. But at the very beginning I promised, I said there was a third piece that I wanted to touch on before the end of our evening. And that is yet another new discovery. And this is the reason I emphasize the role of the magnetic fields in the earth in these changes. The magnetic fields of the earth link all life. Even things that are not alive. Everything from an atom, to a molecule, to the DNA of a blade of grass, and hamsters and gold fish, and dogs and cats and people and stars. We are all linked through these very powerful fields of magnetics. And the magnetic fields, the geomagnetic fields of the earth, when they rise and fall they regulate the way life happens on our planet right now. They are actually looking right now, there is a new peer reviewed research article in the prestigious journal Nature. I have a link, we talk about in the book and there is also a link is on the website. That is now linking the rise and fall of dinosaurs, the 65 Million year cycle to these magnetic fields of the earth and our relationship to the energy source at the center of the Milky Way. So we’re looking at cycles within cycles within cycles.

Here is why that is important.

I’ll just tell a quick story. September 11, 2001. 9/11. We had a satellite in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. They are there today. They are called GOES; Geo Synchronis Orbital something Satellites. Their sole job is to send back a reading to the computers on the earth every 30 minutes of how strong the magnetic fields of the earth really are. And you know, the earths magnetic field, they earth ebbs and flow at reasonable rates through out the day. 9/11 scientists saw a big glitch; a big jump in the magnetic fields of the earth from both satellites; the northern and southern hemisphere. We show this in the live program and I’ll give you a link in a minute. We can look at it on the web site.

And their question was what in the world happened on earth? What could possibly happen on earth that could influence the magnetic fields of the entire planet to such a degree that the satellites 22,000 miles above the surface of the earth are picking this up? What is happening?

And when they realized it was the collective emotion of 6 billion people on the planet in response to the tragedy of 9/11, this is a big deal in the realm of science. Because it means that somehow we are intimately connected to the very fields of the earth that sustains life on the earth.

Not metaphorically, not figuratively. This is a real concrete tangible link. This led to a series of studies and research projects. The bottom line is the link is created through the magnetic field of the human heart. Each of us, everyone listening right now, your heart was built, it was designed, and from the first moment you took your first breath on this planet, you have been engaged in a conversation with the very fields of this planet that sustains all life, even if you didn’t know you were having a conversation. And what the research now has shown is when we create very concise qualities of emotion in our heart, not in our mind; we have to get out of our heads to do this. But when we create very concise qualities of emotion in our hearts we set up what is called an experience of coherence. And we talked about this a little bit in the last program. If you are a scientist coherence is something you can measure electrically at 0.10 cycles per second, 0.10 hertz. Between the heart and the brain. And we are learning now to create the right kinds of emotions so that we have that coherence in our bodies. That is just good for us. When we do we think better, we are healthier, our anti aging hormones kick in, we have very strong immune systems. It’s just a good way to live.

But what the studies are showing, Jennifer, and this is what brings it back to the first 5 minutes of our conversation. Is that when many people get together and create a collective field of coherence that we couple with the very field of the earth that is undergoing the greatest change, that holds the greatest threat to the way we live our lives. And by simply living from a heart based perspective, emotions, like care, like gratitude, like appreciation, very precise techniques that will help us get to that place; we literally can smooth out the rough edges of the chaos, of what is called stress waves. Stephen Lewis I think this is what he was referring to. The stress waves that are rippling through the conscious field of earth as people respond to so much change, they can’t even keep up with it. But now we know that coherence is the key to sustaining life within our bodies. And also literally it gives every one of us direct access to the filed, the very field that is affected most by this cyclic change. And it’s the same field that sustains life on this planet.

And I think it is no accident, Jennifer, that only now at the end of this cycle, when the experts tell us we are faced with the greatest threats and challenges that human kind has ever faced. 5000 years of history. The greatest number of challenges and the greatest magnitude of challenges. That at the same time we are learning the language of the human heart that allows us to communicate with the fields that are going through the change.

And for the first time we have a science based initiative called Global Coherence Initiative, GCI, that is linking people in a family, in a community, not unlike the community we have with us tonight. And for people that would like to know more about this, I'm going to encourage you, it’s all free. If you go to my web site greggbraden.com. The middle of the home page is a link. It says click here to learn about Global Coherence. It will give you a slide show, and it gives you the opportunity, you can do everything from passively watching this project and I’ll describe it in a minute; to actually becoming a member of the community that is learning to create this coherence and part of the webinars and part of the experiments that are happening. Even one step further, becoming trained yourself so you can train other people in sharing the gift of coherence in our lives.

Jennifer: Well you know what’s interesting is that the guest next week on the show is Eric Pearl. Who talks about the fields quite a bit, and he talks about your material and Howard Martin.

Gregg: Vice President of this division of Heart Math, the Heart Math Institute- HEARTMATH all one word- They are the pioneers in exploring heart based technologies. They are the ones heading up this non profit project. And for transparency, I am both on the steering committee as well as the advisory board for this project because I believe so strongly in it. Howard will be a guest I think it’s in early April.

And it’s a 2 tier project. 2 layer project. One layer Jennifer, that is just fascinating to me is they’ve learned to build the sensors that can actually read these magnetic fields and put the images day by day on the web site so we can see with our own eyes how these magnetic fields shift in response to collective changes and emotions. Now that is fascinating in itself.

The second tier are the training programs and the ways to come together as a community to share this coherence and to positively affect our transition in our time in history. And the beauty is we don’t have to change anything we do. We’re not changing anything you pray or meditate or what you believe. You don’t have to follow a practice.

Its just about learning to do what you’re already doing from a heart based rather than a brain based perspective and that is the big hurdle for a lot of people.

So that’s all. We covered a lot of ground and that’s the closure, the completion of why this 2012 window is so powerful. It’s a choice point. And now we have the language to choose. And it’s the language of our most ancient and cherished spiritual traditions based on the heart. What a beautiful symmetry.

The thing is there are a lot of people on this planet. We all think differently. We all learn differently.

Gregg: And that’s the beauty of so many different traditions if we can get past judging one is right or wrong from the other one and embrace the wisdom they all bring to the table. What we find is that for 5000 in one way or another we have all been preparing for a moment in time that we are going to live in this generation. The close of a great world age. Not the end of the world, but the end of a world age. And by definition because it’s a cycle, the end of anything is the beginning of what comes next. And we can just as easily say we are giving birth to a sixth world age. We are giving birth to a new 5125 year long cycle.

I am not sugar coating this. I am not saying this is a bed of roses or we don’t have challenges and people aren’t suffering.

But I am saying that I believe... This is almost like a really, very cool science fiction narrative.

Where people on the world began a journey so long ago that no one living today even remembers the beginning of the journey or even why we are on the journey.

And its in the last moments of the journey, when the greatest threats to our survival as individuals, our way of life, our civilization and our planet; when the greatest threats show up we discover the way to successfully complete our journey is to embrace the great gift that we had all along and that is the gift of the language of the heart that speaks to the systems that are going through the change. Isn’t that beautiful?

one of the new discoveries is that the human heart literally has its own brain like tissue. Neuro tissue in the heart. And please everyone, Howard Martin is worth spending an evening of your time listening to. He is funny, he is a brilliant man. He has a beautiful heart. And he will talk about what is called heart intelligence. Heart intelligence is when we get out of our mind in the presence of the great decision and choices we have to make and go into this neural center in our heart. And its kind of like a muscle that maybe you are not used to using. Some are very used to it. So some are saying, “what’s the big deal?” And others are saying, “huh?”

But when we use it a few times, its becomes almost second nature. It’s like remembering something we forgot a long time ago. And it’s this heart based intelligence that I believe is the basis for a successful civilization. And if we are going to learn from the mistakes of our past, and these were very successful, powerful civilizations. Jennifer, they have even found electrical wires in clay tubes running underground and batteries that could hold a current. So we think they may even have had electricity used for lighting, we don’t know. They had highly advanced architecture, mathematics, they had all these things, but had they evolved to a point where it made sense for humans to cooperate and work together through the greatest challenges and are we making that mistake now. This is the choice that we are all making.

Jennifer: Yeah, that’s the question I have for you. From your perspective, have we reached that critical mass? Have we reached that point? I think you’ve talked in other places, I’ve heard you talk about how we avoided some of the destruction of the darkness and so I’d love to hear examples of that and also does there need to be a critical mass? Are we there yet?

Gregg: I'm going to answer these in reverse. The whole idea of critical mass, we are actually rewriting the rules for how we deal with the challenges of our time. And the way we are rewriting them, Jennifer, a lot of people say they do not like what is happening in the world so they are going to fight what is happening in the world. When we choose with the heart, we are not fighting a system that exists, we’re saying, “that system is there”, you know, “god bless it. We are choosing another way of being and there is a huge HUGE energetic advantage to choose a way of being instead of resisting what is already in place. And when we make those choices… Are there any Star Trek fans?

Jennifer: I am!

Gregg: Ok, then maybe you know this. In one of the early episodes in the Star Trek academy, there was a puzzle that every star ship person, any of the officers had to solve this problem.

Jennifer: They failed.

Gregg: the unsolvable problem. And I thin it was Kirk. Was it Kirk or was it…?

Jennifer: Yes it was Kirk. It was Kirk.

Gregg: The only way he solved it, you couldn’t solve the problem. He rewrote the rules to define...

Jennifer: He cheated! (laughter)

Gregg: We are rewriting the rules.

Jennifer: Got it.

Gregg: In this polarity world, if we are going to fight the things; and you know at the 3 dimensional level sometimes it makes sense to fight, but what I'm saying is now we are looking at a new way of being with consciousness. We are moving beyond battling, guys bumping chests and governments and civilizations. We are now going to source of the energy and a powerful choice is different from aggressive resistance. And I think this is one of the things we are learning. When people choose with the heart, and this is why I am answering the question this way, then the old linear hundred monkey idea no longer applies. You no longer need to have a certain number of people. What happens is, a relatively few people, who clearly concisely speak with the language of the heart, that field is experienced by many. And not everyone of the 6 billion people on the earth have to make a choice to benefit. And in all honesty this is why I began the program, thanking you and thanking our listeners. Because there are a lot of people tonight that simply do not have the luxury to sit by a phone or computer to sit and do what we are doing. They are too busy trying to live until tomorrow. They are just trying to get through to the end of the day. That’s us. That’s our family. And by us, we are all working together by us learning and embracing the gift of life and the power of heart based language on the planet right now. When we, a relatively few number of people learn to do that really well, everyone benefits, because there is no them and us. And we talk about people in government making those choices, those people are there because we empowered them to be there. There is no them and us. There is a we. They are plugged into the same fields we are. And they feel the ripple effect and the stress waves, and the coherence that we create. And we never have to say a word. You dont have to make a big deal about it saying, “Hey. We’re going to smooth out the coherence of the planet.” We don’t have to do that.

Jennifer: We don’t have to march on Washington as the Coherence Alliance.

Gregg: No but its fun. Its fun to do that.

Jennifer: Yea.

Gregg: Its subtle and its powerful. And this is the irony of our time in history or learning that we are actually part of the fields that are going to change. When we live in that heart centered way, cooperation makes a lot of sense.

For example. Right now. A lot of people do not know this because the economy is over shadowing it. The United States government, right now Congress is determining whether or not to aprocreate hundreds of billions of dollars to refurbish our nuclear arsenal. Because the triggers were built in the 50 and 60’s. They deteriorate and get old. That’s a lot of money.

There was a time in our history, where the world was so insane that maybe it made sense to have that arsenal. But there is also a time right now where just possibly, if we walk away from the expenditures for those weapons and set an example for the rest of the world and said, “We’re living a rare moment of crisis on this plane. Lets take this money and help one another. And other countries then didn’t feel threatened and do the same thing. That could just possibly set the template for a beautiful level of cooperation on this planet that we haven’t seen, if ever for a very long time.


Jennifer: Do you think that’s possible Gregg?

Gregg: I am so encouraged by what I see. I don’t know why. I think we are taking a rough road to a better world. I really believe that. Why we took this long hard route that caused so much suffering and why we all had to hurt in our lives. Every person listening tonight, everyone of you, the only way you could be here is to have a lot of hurt in your life. Because the world we are living in, is a world that hasn’t made sense to us and I know all of you have been through it in one way or another. Economically, in personal relationships, financially, we have all lost people and things that we love and hold dear. Why? What’s that all about? Why have we gone through all of that? I don’t have the answer for that. But what I do know, is that we are here for much more than to see this planet and our species perish from 3 years from now. We have the power, we have the technology, and I think we are actually all really good people. And when you see us doing things that don’t make any sense I think that it comes from a place of hurt.

Jennifer: Yes. I agree. I completely agree.

Gregg: You know there was a study that was done, 400 studies were done after 9/11 to find out if humans are inherently a violent species. In all 400 studies came back with the same answer. That we are actually a peaceful, peace loving species. However there are 3 conditions that we will betray our true nature of peace and we will become violent. Those three conditions are when we feel personally threatened; when we feel that our families are threatened; or when we feel that our way of life is threatened. And you look at the conditions in the world where the greatest terror is occurring, and all three of those conditions apply to those people. I am not justifying it. I am not condoning it. I'm not saying it is the reason these things are happening. But what I am saying is if people are looking for a way to make sense out of the senseless, we might begin looking at how to help one another feel safe personally, feel safe for our families and feel whatever our little way of life is, that we can preserve that personally while we work together collectively for a new way to live on this planet.

Jennifer: I have this wonderful community of people. The people that seem to be attracted to this community seem to have that kind of an energy. And would just I ask of them to even take it that much further. And kind of look at the people within the community, look at the speakers. Look at me even, as someone who is holding an intention of honor, or integrity, of support of love. And I think, I sometimes get some pretty wild emails from people, I'm sure you do too Gregg.

Gregg: Yea

Jennifer: Where people immediately assume that you’re trying to do them harm. And I know that that comes from a place of hurt. And I know the work I do with people it comes from a place with trauma- usually.

And I think there is an opportunity for us, everyone on this call right in this moment to make a little agreement with ourselves. I have to do this for myself too. I have those moments myself. Where we get to make an agreement with ourselves that I'm going to give someone the benefit of the doubt until the doubt has been removed. There are still people out there who aren’t necessarily in a place that can offer that to us.

Gregg: People come to me and say it can’t be that easy. It has got to be more than what we’re talking about. What I know is this. We have learned a way of being that has served us so well that it got us to the point where we are right now.

Jennifer: Right. It protected us in many ways.

Gregg: Exactly. And it made sense. And at the same time for that to go away, you cant simple stop one way of being in an instant and say, “now what do we do?” And figure out a new way.

The new way has to develop while the old way is in place. There has to be that overlap. And then when the old way falls away, the new structure is already in place. And this is why we have people on this planet, God bless them, are doing both.

Our military is buying us precious time, precious time of a relatively peaceful world. It could be a lot worse. Do we have the wisdom to know what to do with that peace? When we choose that peace in our lives, their job become obsolete. And this is what we’re working for. In that way I think we’re all working together doing the only thing we know how to do to build a better world and become good people.

Jennifer: So Theresa asked a question. And I know that other people are kind feeling this too on this call. Can one person really really make a difference? If so, what then can I do to make a positive shift for the greater whole?

Gregg: I want to say absolutely one person can make a difference. One person clearly, cleanly embodying these principals in their everyday sphere of life; and you don’t have to broadcast you’re doing it. You don’t have to go around with a big badge saying, “I'm living a new way.” Just by example I’ve seen this happen. I’ve seen one person do this in a corporate board room. And other people in that board room responded to the way this one person was solving problems and from that corporation, other corporations like the United Nations were influenced. And the decisions were made all based on changes that happened in one meeting in one day from one person choosing to work cooperatively and to come from a heart centered solution rather than bumping chest, yelling and saying the kinds of things that people say when they are angry. One person, one person did that. I’ve seen that happen.

Jennifer: And it doesn’t have to be the CEO in a board room.

Gregg: It wasn’t a CEO. It actually was an advisor that the CEO had asked to come in to help. And this was in the defense industry.

Jennifer: In the defense industry?

Gregg: Yup. During the cold war years. And most of the people in the board room were retired military. Most of them were male. Most of them had learned to solve problems by yelling, pounding fists, and with brute force. That was just their path.

And I saw someone come in that had a completely different approach. Didn’t announce it. Didn’t broadcast it. Just began solving the problem differently. And everyone responded unconsciously.

It’s kind of like you could be driving to church with your friends on a Sunday morning listening to the oldies and really rocking out on the road. And the minute you step into that church, there is a different vibe going on in that room. And everyone responds. The people in you’re group. 5 seconds ago you were rocking to the oldies and now you have gone within and you’ve become in a very different space. It’s unconscious. And that’s the way it works in a board room. I'm just using that as an example.

Jennifer: Yea, No. It is a perfect example. And so every singly person on this call, if you come from a heart centered place and practice the principals that pretty much every speaker is talking about.

Gregg: The thing with heart math is they are giving us modern techniques that are verifiable. There are feed back mechanisms that Howard will talk about that tell us, we don’t have to guess when we are incoherent.

Jennifer: Yes. I got the EM wave. I got it right after our last call.

Gregg: Absolutely. This is what makes it different. For the first time. I mean everybody here has probably been involved in these calls where they say on noon on Saturday go into your heart and feel peace in the Middle East. And we all do it. And it probably helps.

But realistically, we don’t know when we are incoherent. So we don’t know how many of us are moving into coherence. The beauty of what heart math has pioneered, is we now have the technology that can be loaded into your lap top or a little device the size of your cell phone that tells us with no question when we are incoherent and then we know what feeling it takes to make that happen. I'm not a big gadget person. Give that gadget to somebody else.

Jennifer: Well, yea. It trains you to feel what it is like to be coherent.

Gregg: First of all, are we on a hard stop? Can we go longer?

Jennifer: We can go just a few minutes longer, at least 5 minutes.

Gregg: Here is a true story and I talked about it in the book. This is the scnyronicity of the universe putting all these things together because the players never knew what was happening.

It was the closest that we ever came to a nuclear exchange between the 2 super powers. And I'm going to share a story that we didn’t even know about until the end of the cold war when the Russians, former Soviet Union, declassified their documents.

1983 cold war was raging and there was civilian airliner, that straight off coarse about 200 miles over Russia was shot down by the Russia military mistakenly. They thought it was a spy plane. 265 civilians including a United States Congressman were on that plane. Lawrence McDonald. And they were all killed. And in the paranoia of the cold war, the Soviet Union thought we would interpret that as an act of war and we would attack them. And in that paranoid thinking they said, “Ah. We’ll beat them to the punch and surprise and attack them first.”

It was the closest that we ever came to being surprised by nuclear attack from another power. And if it had happened, it would have been a surprise because we didn’t even know they were planning it.

Now, here is the flip side. And somewhere in heaven got to be looking down and shaking their heads saying, “Look at these people on Earth. What are they doing?” Because it happens that precisely during this period of time, the largest experiment in human consciousness testing the power of creating peace was unfolding. And this was one of the TM experiments through the Siti techniques; TM Transmittal Meditation experiments. Where they have 7000 people that were crating peace in their bodies using the SITI techniques. And the effects were so profound, statistically that the effects were felt from Australia to Europe, through he United States.

They were measured, they were documented. And it was precisely when we came the closest to having the closest to having that nuclear attack, and it would have been an exchange afterwards, that the experiment happened and for reason that no one has been able to explain cooler heads prevailed and everybody backed off the trigger. And I think it was no accident that we backed away from the trigger precisely the day the experiment was happening. I document this in the book. And I tell people if they want to read more about that where they can.

But I think this is one of the first times we have learned definitively that human consciousness in one place has a powerful and profound effect that is not limited to the place where people haven’t had experience. And the peace was the effect that came from feeling peace. And to me that opens the door to all the possibilities. Isn’t that a cool story?

Jennifer: That is so cool. But someone asked an interesting question. This happens to be the foundation of my work too. It’s not just being positive. Each of us have traumas and negative and unconscious beliefs and I think our goal is to access those -not stick our heads in the positive sand of life reaffirmation. But use the challenges that come up before us. Like this big one is. And the little ones, well they may be big for us as they use up in our life. Use that them to access that more negative content within us to release it, realign it, re-pattern it and let it go so we can find easily and effortlessly more times of coherence. Do you think that’s true?

Gregg: Couldn’t have said it better myself. Absolutely, I think that’s it. But the key, and this is what may be a little differently, is when we move into this heart centered way of living and heart based techniques, many people have been conditioned to believe that it is a relaxation or a letting go or almost of a zoning out. It is just the opposite. It is an active form of concentration. To hold the focus in a precise way where it is useful. At least once go through the techniques with a heart math trainer or Howard will talk to you about this. Don’t miss Howard’s program. I'm going to be turned in for Howard’s program.

Jennifer: Awesome!

Gregg: So it’s a very active form of concentration but it’s a concentration that holds the focus in the human heart.

Jennifer: Right. Oh my goodness. We are absolutely out of time. We are about to get cut off.

For those of you that are interested I have a special link to Gregg’s Book launch on March 17. It’s a really cool site that I think is still up that Hayhouse put together for the book launch. Where you can get all kinds of wonderful gifts from some people who are supporting this whole idea of 2012. It’s a beautiful site too.

www.Healingwiththemasters.com/gregg

And also the email just I sent prior to the show if you click on the link it will take you to that site.

You can buy the book. I think there is a prize with Abraham Hicks too, isn’t there?

Gregg: I have never been on a book launch before. I think yes.

Jennifer: What a delight at always. I know we actually have had moments of coherence on the call. I can feel the energy emanating from this group. Feel your hearts right now everyone and bring that heart energy into your life and everyone you meet. Thank you so much Gregg. What a wonderful program.

Gregg: Jennifer thank you for being such a gracious host. Thank you all of our guests. I want to say God bless everyone. Its not the end of the world, it’s the end of a great world age and what comes next and we are all part of it.

Science and Parallel Universes etc

Current science on parallel universes:

“There are vibrations of different universes right here, right now. We’re just not in tune with them. There are probably other parallel universes in our living room—this is modern physics. This is the modern interpretation of quantum theory, that many worlds represents reality.”

~Dr. Michio Kaku, Theoretical Physicist, Professor and Bestselling Author

“There are hundreds of different radio waves being broadcast all around you from distant stations. At any given instant, your office or car or living room is full of these radio waves. However if you turn on a radio, you can listen to only one frequency at a time; these other frequencies are not in phase with each other. Each station has a different frequency, a different energy. As a result, your radio can only be turned to one broadcast at a time. Likewise, in our universe we are *tuned into the frequency that corresponds to physical reality. But there are an infinite number of parallel realities coexisting with us in the same room, although we cannot tune into them.”

~Professor Steven Weinberg, Nobel Prize in Physics (1979)

We are facing a revolution in our thinking about the physical universe

“Today, probably more than in any other day, we are facing a revolution in our thinking about the physical universe—the stuff that you and I are made of. This revolution, brought to a head by the discoveries of the new physics, including relativity and quantum mechanics, appears to reach well beyond our preconceived vision, based as it was on the concept of concrete solid reality.”

~ Dr Fred Alan Wolf, Author and Physicist

How to Protect Your Email Address Book from Spreading to Your Friends

How to protect your e-mail address book (received in an email today from my mom):

A computer repairman says this is like having gold. This is a good thing.
I learned a computer trick today that's really ingenious in its simplicity.

As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads straight for your email address book, and sends itself to everyone in there, thus infecting all your friends and associates.

This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from using your address book to spread further, and it will alert you to the factthat the worm has gotten into your system.

Here's what you do:

First, open your address book and click on 'new contact,' just as you would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses. In the window where youwould type your friend's first name, type in 'A'.

For the screen name or email address, type AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA

Now, here's what you've done and why it works:
The 'name 'A' will be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1.

This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. When it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA, it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered. If the first attempt fails(which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected.

Here's the second great advantage of this method:

If an email cannot be delivered, you will be notified of this in your In Boxalmost immediately. Hence, if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA could not be delivered, you know right away that you have the worm virus in your system. You can then take steps to get rid of it!

Pretty slick huh?

If everybody you know does this then you need not ever worry about opening mail from friends. DO IT NOW and pass this on to all your friends.

Hydrogen Peroxide- what they never told you.

I have been researching the benefits of hydrogen peroxide for a while. For the moment I am only going to post some information on the subject. The particular benefits I am looking into is the food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide.

It is EXTREMELY important to note that this is a substance that needs to be treated with caution. If taken improperly it could result in injuries. For example a child drinking out the bottle would result in a trip to the ER- but the diluted dose (starting with 1 drop in a 8 oz cup of water in the morning of the first day and then 2 more times that day and adding one drop per day) will reap many benefits. It is also important to be careful when you handle the bottle. In its undiluted form it can upset the skin if it is in concentrated doses. Usually it just turns your skin white if its a little bit, but in extreme cases (if someone poured the bottle on their arm- which would be stupid to do) it can burn the skin and need medical treatment.

For those of you who have heard of the One Minute Cure and wanted to know more like myself, I hope you find this information helpful. Also, just for my peace of mind I want to remind you I am not a doctor (didnt want any needless lawsuits etc).

Here is some of the information I found on the subject. I have included the web page of each article at the bottom so you can check it out for yourself:


Hydrogen peroxide is one interesting substance! Hydrogen peroxide should really be called hydrogen dioxide. Its chemical formula is H2O2 - it contains one more atom of oxygen than water (H2O).

By now everyone is aware of the ozone layer that surrounds the Earth. Ozone consists of three atoms of oxygen (O3). This protective layer of ozone is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule (O2) into two single, unstable oxygen atoms. These single molecules combine with others to form ozone (O3). Ozone is not stable. In fact, it will quickly give up that extra store of oxygen to falling rainwater to form hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

It is the hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective that tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric pollution, however, greater amounts of H2O2 react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground. To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide (5 to 16 oz of 35% mixed with 20 gal. of water per acre).

You can achieve the same beneficial effect with your house plants by adding one ounce of 3% hydrogen peroxide (or 16 drops of 35% solution) to every quart of water you give your plants. (It can also be made into an excellent safe insecticide. Simply spray your plants with 8 ounces of 3% peroxide mixed with 8 ounces of white sugar and one gallon of water.)

Hydrogen peroxide is odorless and colorless, but not tasteless. When stored under the proper conditions it is a very stable compound. When kept in the absence of light and contaminants it dissimulates, or breaks down, very slowly - at the rate of about 10% a year. (This can be slowed even further by storing the liquid in the freezer.) It boils at 152 degrees Celsius and freezes at minus 2 degrees Celsius.

The closer you look at hydrogen peroxide,
the less surprising it becomes that it can help such a wide variety of conditions.

When exposed to other compounds hydrogen peroxide decomposes readily into oxygen and water. In nature, oxygen (O2) consists of two atoms, and is thereby a very stable combination. A single atom of oxygen, however, is very reactive and is referred to as a free radical.

Yet, over and over we continually read that these free radicals are responsible for all types of ailments, and even premature aging. What many writers seem to forget, however, is that our bodies create and use free radicals to destroy harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

In fact, the cells responsible for fighting infection and foreign invaders in the body (your white blood cells) make hydrogen peroxide and use it to oxidize any offending culprits. The intense bubbling you see when hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with a bacteria-laden cut or wound is oxygen being released and bacteria being destroyed.

The ability of our cells to produce hydrogen peroxide is essential for life. H2O2 is not some undesirable by-product or toxin, but a basic requirement for good health.

Newer research indicates we need hydrogen peroxide for a multitude of other chemical reactions that take place throughout the..Newer research indicates we need hydrogen peroxide for a multitude of other chemical reactions that take place throughout the body. For example, we now know that vitamin C helps fight infections by producing hydrogen peroxide, which in turn stimulates the production of prostaglandin’s. Also lactobacillus, found in the colon and vagina, produce hydrogen peroxide. This destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, preventing colon disease, vaginitis, bladder infections, and a host of common ailments. (Infect Dis News Aug. 8,91:5) When lactobacillus in the colon or vaginal tract have been overrun with harmful viruses, yeast or bacteria, an effective douche or enema solution can be made using 3 tablespoons of 3% H2O2 in 1 quart of distilled water. Keep in mind, however, that a good bacterial flora must always be re-established in those areas to achieve lasting results.

Also regarding enemas and douches, there is another misconception about H2O2 I need to address. The friendly bacteria in the colon and vagina are aerobic. In other words, they flourish in high oxygen environments and thrive in the presence of oxygen environments and thrive in the presence of oxygen rich H2O2. On the other hand,most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen or H2O2.

Hydrogen peroxide produced within individual body cells is essential for life.And no one doubts its effectiveness when it comes to treating infections topically. The controversy deals with ingesting the substance orally or introducing it into the body intravenously. The dispute has been going on for decades (and considering the attitude of our medical community - it will continue for many more decades).

I admit that I was personally skeptical when I first learned about using H2O2 orally, or intravenously. This healthy dose of skepticism, however, led to a great deal of investigation, clinical work, and experimentation. I realize a large majority of readers will probably never be convinced that H2O2 is a safe and effective compound, I am. Hydrogen peroxide is safe, readily available and dirt cheap. And best of all - it works!

No one fully understands the complete workings of hydrogen peroxide. We do know that it is loaded with oxygen.

(A pint of the food-grade 35% solution contains the equivalent of 130 pints of oxygen. A pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide found at the local drugstore contains 10 pints of oxygen. And a pint of the 6% solution used to bleach hair contains 20 pints of oxygen.) We also know that when H2O2 is taken into the body (orally or intravenously), the oxygen content of the blood and body tissues increases dramatically. Early researchers felt these increases were simply due to the extra oxygen molecule being released. This doesn’t, however, appear to be the case. Only very diluted amounts of H2O2 are ever introduced into the body. The small amount of oxygen present could not be solely responsible for the dramatic changes that take place. Dr. Charles Farr, a strong proponent of intravenous use, has discovered another possible answer.

Dr. Farr has shown that hydrogen peroxide stimulates enzyme systems throughout the body. This triggers an increase in the metabolic rate, causes small arteries to dilate and increase blood flow, enhances the body’s distributions and consumption of oxygen and raises body temperature.

(Proceedings of the Internationals Conference on Bio-Oxidative Medicine 1989, 1990, 1991)

We are just beginning to learn exactly how H2O2 works…

H2O2 was reported to work as far back as 1920. Later, The Lancet, an English Medical Journal, reported that intravenous infusion was used successfully to treat pneumonia in the epidemic following World War I. In the 1940s, Father Richard Willhelm, the pioneer in promoting peroxide use, reported on the compound being used extensively to treat everything from bacterial-related mental illness to skin disease and polio. (Father Willhelm is the found of Educational Concern for Hydrogen Peroxide, ECHO, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on the safe use and therapeutic benefits of hydrogen peroxide.)

Much of the interest in hydrogen peroxide waned in the 1940s when prescription medications came on the scene. Since then, there has been little economic interest in funding peroxide research. After all, it is dirt cheap and non-patentable.

Even still, in the last 25 years, over 7,700 articles relating to hydrogen peroxide have been written in Medical Journals. Thousands more articles, illuminating its therapeutic use, have appeared in alternative health publications.

While the number of conditions helped by hydrogen peroxide are astounding, the reported dangers and side effects are few and often conflicting.

Let’s look at several conditions that seem to respond especially well to H2O2 therapy. First, keep in minds that there are two methods ofadministering the peroxide - orally and intravenously. While most conditions respond remarkably to oral ingestion, emphysema is one condition in which intravenous infusion can be a godsend.

It is obvious that our oxygen needs are not being met.

Several of the most common ailments now affecting our population are directly related to oxygen starvation:

Asthma, emphysema and lung disease are on the rise,especially in the polluted metropolitan areas. Cases of constipation, diarrhea, intestinal parasites and bowel cancer are all on the upswing. Periodontal disease is endemic in the adult population of this country. Cancer of all forms continues to increase. Immune system disorders are sweeping the globe. Chronic fatigue (the so-called “Yuppie Flu”) and hundreds of other strange viral diseases have begun to surface.

Ironically, many of the new “miracles” drugs and nutritional supplements used to treat these conditions work by increasing cellular oxygen (oftentimes through H2O2 formation). For example, the miracle nutrients, Coenzyme Q10, helps regulate intercellular oxidation which received considerable publicity not too long ago, also increased oxygen levels at the cellular level. And even substances like niacin and vitamin E promote tissue oxidation through the dilation of blood vessels.

Hydrogen peroxide is only one of the man components that help regulate the amount of oxygen getting to your cells.

Its presence is vital for many other functions as well:

It is required for the production of thyroid hormone and sexual hormones. (Mol Cell Endocrinol 86;46 (2) 149-15 Steroids 82;40 (5) : 569-579)

It stimulates the production of interferon. (J Immunol 85;134 (4) : 24-12455)

It dilates blood vessels in the heart and brain. (Am J Physiol 86;250 (5 pt 2): H815-821 and (2 pt 2) :H157-162)

It improves glucose utilization in diabetics. (Proceedings of the IBOM Conference 1989, 1990, 1991)

Possible Reactions to Hydrogen Peroxide

Skin eruptions, nausea, sleepiness, unusual fatigue, diarrhea, colds, (in head or chest), ear infections, boils, or any other method that the body uses to emit toxins from the body! (The toxins have been rooted out by the use of hydrogen peroxide.)

This is the natural way for the body to cleanse and the natural cleansing will be of short duration, as you continue to maintain your program. Above all, even if you must decrease the dosage, it’s good to continue the program, don’t give up.

If you get a cleansing reaction, you may want to increase the dosage to hasten the cleansing. A cleansing is the effect of the body of bacteria dying off, or various forms of poisons being released through the eliminative organs of the body, i.e. skin, lungs, kidneys, and bowels.

Remember: When hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with virus and streptococcus, it will liberate free oxygen (O2).

This may be happening in your stomach. If your stomach feels uneasy, it is only the hydrogen peroxide seeking out the virus and streptococcus to destroy.

If you do choose to use Hydrogen Peroxide internally, read the information below thoroughly and use extreme caution.

The Many Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide

http://educate-yourself.org/cancer/benefitsofhydrogenperozide17jul03.shtml
Posted July 17, 2003

(Original title: Hydrogen Peroxide - Curse or Cure?)

When it comes to hydrogen peroxide therapy there seems to be only two points of view. Supporters consider it one of the greatest healing miracles of all time. Those opposed feel its ingestion is exceptionally dangerous, and only the foolhardy could think of engaging in such behavior. Before either condemning or endorsing hydrogen peroxide, let’s take a real close look at what we’re dealing with.

If any substance is interesting, it’s hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide should really be called hydrogen dioxide. Its chemical formula is H2O2. It contains one more atom of oxygen that does water (H20). By now everyone’s aware of the ozone layer that surrounds the earth. Ozone consists of three atoms of oxygen (03). This protective layer of ozone is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule (02) into two single, unstable oxygen atoms. These single molecules combine with others to form ozone (03). Ozone isn’t very stable. In fact, it will quickly give up that extra atom of oxygen to falling rainwater to form hydrogen peroxide (H202). (Bear with me: all this chemistry mumbo jumbo I’m going through actually will help you understand the importance of hydrogen peroxide.)

Helps Plants
It is this hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective than tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric pollution, however, greater amounts of H202 react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground. To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide (5 to 16 ounces of 35% mixed with 20 gallons of water per acre).

(A pint of the food-grade 35% solution contains the equivalent of 130 pints of oxygen. A pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide found at the local drugstore contains 10 pints of oxygen. And a pint of the 6% solution used to bleach hair contains 20 pints of oxygen.) We also know that when H202 is taken into the body (orally or intravenously) the oxygen content of the blood and body tissues increases dramatically. Early researchers felt these increases were simply due to the extra oxygen molecule being released. This doesn’t however, appear to be the case.

Only very diluted amounts of H202 are ever introduced into the body. The small amount of oxygen present couldn’t be solely responsible for the dramatic changes that take place. Dr. Charles Farr, a strong proponent of intravenous use, has discovered another possible answer. Dr. Farr has shown that hydrogen peroxide stimulates enzyme systems throughout the body. This triggers an increase in the metabolic rate, causes small arteries to dilate and increase blood flow, enhances the body’s distribution and consumption of oxygen and raises body temperature (Proceedings of the International Conference on Bio-Oxidative Medicine 1989, 1990, 1991).

Father Richard Willhelm
We are just beginning to learn exactly how H202 works. It was reported to work as far back as 1920. The English medical journal, Lancet, then reported that intravenous infusion was used successfully to treat pneumonia in the epidemic following World War I. In the 1940’s Father Richard Willhelm, the pioneer in promoting peroxide use, reported on the compound being used extensively to treat everything from bacterial-related mental illness to skin disease and polio. Father Willhelm is the founder of “Educational Concern for Hydrogen Peroxide” (ECHO, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public on the safe use and therapeutic benefits of hydrogen peroxide.) Much of the interest in hydrogen peroxide waned in the 1940’s when prescription medications came on the scene. Since that time there has been little economic interest in funding peroxide research. After all, it is dirt cheap and non-patentable. Even still, in the last 25 years, over 7,700 articles relating to hydrogen peroxide have been written in the standard medical journals. Thousands more, involving its therapeutic use, have appeared in alternative health publications. The number of conditions helped by hydrogen peroxide is astounding. The reported dangers and side effects are few and often conflicting.

Emphysema
Let’s look at several conditions that seem to respond especially well to H202 therapy. First, keep in mind that there are two methods of administering the peroxide-1) orally and 2) intravenously. While most conditions respond remarkably to oral ingestion, emphysema is one condition in which intravenous infusion can be a godsend. Emphysema involves destruction of the alveoli (the small air sacs in the lungs). Although chemical fumes and other irritants can cause the destruction, it is most often the result of smoking. As the disease progresses, the patient finds it more and more difficult to breathe. A wheel chair and supplemental oxygen become necessary as the disease progresses. Lack of adequate oxygen reaching the tissues forces the heart to pump more forcefully. This leads to high blood pressure, enlargement of the heart itself and eventually heart failure. Conventional medicine offers little help for emphysema. There is no cure. The best that can be hoped for is symptomatic relief and the prevention of any serious complications that might result in death. H202 therapy can offer more. Using 1 ounce of 35% peroxide per 1 gallon of non-chlorinated water in a vaporizer improves nighttime breathing tremendously. But intravenous infusion holds the real key to relief. It has the ability to cleanse the inner lining of the lungs and restore the ability to breathe.

We continue to hear the same story from Dr. Farr and others who use intravenous infusion for emphysema and congestive lung problems. Within minutes oxygen from hydrogen peroxide begins to bubble up between the membrane lining the lungs sacs and the accumulated mucus. (Dr. Farr refers to this as the “Alka-Seltzer effect.”) The patient begins to cough and expel the material that has accumulated in the lungs. The amount of bubbling, coughing, and cleansing can be regulated by simply turning the H202 on and off. As the peroxide clears the lung surface and destroys the bacterial infections, the patient regains the ability to breath more normally. We continue to receive reports from patients for whom the technique has improved breathing so much that a wheelchair and supplemental oxygen are no longer needed. If you would like to find a doctor in your area trained in the use of intravenous H202 infusion, contact the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM), P.O. Box 13205, Oklahoma City, OK 73113 at (405) 478-4266. They can provide names and addresses of doctors using the procedure in your area.

If emphysema were the only ailment successfully treated with H202 therapy, it would still rank as one of the top health discoveries of all time. Fortunately, H202 works wonders on a multitude of health problems. It does so by increasing tissue oxygen levels. A closer look at how we have decreased the availability of external and internal oxygen, will show you just how important this can be. If you were not too occupied with trying to hide dissection specimens in the other student’s desks, you might remember from elementary science courses that our atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen. That is under ideal circumstances. It has recently been reported that in many of our more polluted cities, there levels have dropped to around 10%! (I have already mentioned how less hydrogen peroxide-containing rain is reaching the earth’s surface. With increased pollution it is reacting with airborne toxins before it even reaches the ground.) And everyone, by now, knows the oxygen-generating rain forests are being destroyed worldwide, which further reduces available oxygen. Internal oxygen availability is also under attack.

Chlorination of drinking water removes oxygen. Cooking and over-processing of our foods lowers their oxygen content. Unrestrained antibiotic use destroys beneficial oxygen-creating bacteria in the intestinal tract. Dr. Johanna Budwig of Germany has shown that for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place, our diets must contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. Unfortunately, the oils rich in these fatty acids have become less and less popular with the food industry. Their very nature makes them more biologically active, which requires more careful processing and gives them a shorter shelf-life. Rather than deal with these challenges, the food industry has turned to the use of synthetic fats and dangerous processes like hydrogenation.

It’s obvious that our oxygen needs are not being met. Several of the most common ailments now affecting our population are directly related to oxygen starvation. Asthma, emphysema, and lung disease are on the rise, especially in the polluted metropolitan areas. Cases of constipation, diarrhea, intestinal parasites and bowel cancer are all on the upswing. Periodontal disease is endemic in the adult population of this country. Cancer of all forms continues to increase. Immune system disorders are sweeping the globe. Chronic fatigue, “Yuppie Flu” and hundreds of other strange viral diseases have begun to surface. Ironically, many of the new “miracle” drugs and nutritional supplements used to treat these conditions work by increasing cellular oxygen (oftentimes through H202 formation). For example, the miracle nutrient, Coenzyme Q10, helps regulate intercellular oxidation. Organic germanium, which received considerable publicity not too long ago, also increases oxygen levels at the cellular level. And even substances like niacin and vitamin E promote tissue oxidation through their dilation of blood vessels.

Hydrogen peroxide is only one of the many components that help regulate the amount of oxygen getting to your cells. Its presence is vital for many other functions as well. It is required for the production of thyroid hormone and sexual hormones. (Mol Cell Endocrinol 86;46(2): 149-154) (Steroids 82;40(5):5690579). It stimulates the production of interferon (J Immunol 85;134(4):24492455). It dilates blood vessels in the heart and brain (Am J Physiol 86;250 (5 pt 2): H815-821 and (2 pt 2):H157-162). It improves glucose utilization in diabetics (Proceedings of the IBOM Conference 1989, 1990, 1991). The closer you look at hydrogen peroxide, the less surprising it becomes that it can help such a wide variety of conditions.

The following is only a partial listing of conditions in which H202 therapy has been used successfully. (Many of these conditions are serious, if not life-threatening. As always, I would highly recommend seeking the advice and guidance of a doctor experienced in the use of these techniques.)

Grades of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is available in various strengths and grades.

A) 3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade: This is the grade sold at your local drugstore or supermarket. This product is not recommended for internal use. It contains an assortment of stabilizers which shouldn’t be ingested. Various stabilizers include: acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and tertrasodium phosphate.

B) 6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to color hair and is not recommended for internal use.

C) 30% Reagent Grade: This is used for various scientific experimentation and also contains stabilizers. It is also not for internal use.

D) 30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean electronic parts and not for internal use.

E) 35% Technical Grade: This is a more concentrated product than the Reagent Grade and differs slightly in that phosphorus is added to help neutralize any chlorine from the water used to dilute it.

F) 35% Food Grade: This is used in the production of foods like cheese, eggs, and whey-containing products. It is also sprayed on the foil lining of aseptic packages containing fruit juices and milk products. THIS IS THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE. It is available in pints, quarts, gallons or even drums. Various suppliers are mentioned later in this article.

G) 90%: This is used as an oxygen source for rocket fuel.

Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is recommended for internal use. At this concentration, however, hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or even fatal. Any concentrations over 10% can cause neurological reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. There have been two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and 40% concentrations of H202. Recently, a 26 month old female swallowed one mouthful of 35% H202. She immediately began vomiting, followed by fainting and respiratory arrest. Fortunately, she was under emergency room care and although she experienced erosion and bleeding of the stomach and esophagus, she survived the incident. When she was re-examined 12 days later, the areas involved had healed (J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).

35% Food Grade H202 must be

1) handled carefully (direct contact will burn the skin–immediate flushing with water is recommended).

2) diluted properly before use. 3) stored safely and properly (after making a dilution the remainder should be stored tightly sealed in the freezer).

One of the most convenient methods of dispensing 35% H202 is from a small glass eye dropper bottle. These can be purchased at your local drugstore. Fill this with the 35% H202 and store the larger container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until more is needed. Store the eye dropper bottle in the refrigerator. The generally recommended dosage is outlined in the chart below. The drops are mixed with either 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water, juice, milk or even aloe vera juice or gel. (Don’t use chlorinated tap water to dilute the peroxide!)

Suggested Protocol
The program outlined is only a suggestion, but it is based on years of experience, and reports from thousands of users. Those who choose to go at a slower pace can expect to progress more slowly, but that certainly is an option. The program is not carved in stone and keep in mind that it can be adapted to fit individual needs. Individuals who have had transplants should not undertake an H202 program. H202 stimulates the immune system and could possibly cause a rejection of the organ.

Day # - Number of Drops/ Times Per Day
1 - 3 / 3
2 - 4 / 3
3 - 5 / 3
4 - 6 / 3
5 - 7 / 3
6 - 8 / 3
7 - 9 / 3
8 - 10 / 3
9 - 12 / 3
10 - 14 / 3
11 - 16 / 3
12 - 18 / 3
13 - 20 / 3
14 - 22 / 3
15 - 24 / 3
16 - 25 / 3

Maintenance Dosage
In most situations after the above 21 day program, the amount of H202 can be tapered off gradually as follows:
25 drops once every other day for 1 week
25 drops once every third day for 2 weeks
25 drops once every fourth day for 3 weeks

This can then be reduced to between 5 and 15 drops per week based on how one feels. Those with more serious problems will often benefit from staying on 25 drops three times a day for one to three weeks, then tapering down to 25 drops two times daily until the problem is resolved (possibly as long as six months). Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis may need to start with 1 drop three times a day, then 2 drops three times a day before starting the above schedule. It is important that H202 be taken on an empty stomach. This is best accomplished by taking it either one hour before meals or three hours after meals. If there is food in the stomach, the reaction of H202 on any bacteria present may cause excess foaming, indigestion, and possibly even vomiting. Additionally, some animal research indicates that when H202 given orally combines with iron and small amounts of vitamin C in the stomach, hydroxyl radicals are created (J Inorg Biochem 89;35(1):55-69). The bleach-like aftertaste of H202 can be lessened by chewing one of the sugar-free cinnamon gums. Some individuals taking H202 immediately before bedtime have a difficult time getting to sleep. This is probably due to a sense of alertness triggered by an increase of oxygen at the cellular level. The oral dosage schedule is basically the same for all conditions. There are several points to keep in mind, however.

Some individuals may experience upset stomach. If this occurs it is recommended that one not stop the program, but rather remain at the current dosage level or reduce it to the previous level until the problem stops. (Some patients have been able to solve the nausea problem by taking three or four lecithin capsules at the same time they take the H202.) During the program it’s not uncommon to experience what is known as a healing crisis. As dead bacteria and toxins are released from your body it may temporarily exceed your capacity to eliminate them quickly enough. In some individuals this overload may cause fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, skin eruptions, cold or flu-like symptoms, and/or nausea. One should not discontinue using the peroxide to stop this cleansing. By continuing the program, toxins will clear the body sooner and this healing crisis will pass rather quickly.

If you are not already taking vitamin E and an acidophilus product, I recommend starting them before going on H202. Vitamin E can make more efficient use of any oxygen available and acidophilus will help re-establish the beneficial bacterial flora in the lower bowel and also help in the internal production of hydrogen peroxide.

Making and Using 3% Solutions of H202
A 3.5% solution can be made quite easily by first pouring 1 ounce of 35% H202 into a pint jar. To this add 11 ounces of distilled water. This will make 12 ounces of 3.5% H202. 3.5% H202 has a variety of medicinal uses.

1. Three tablespoons mixed with a quart of non-chlorinated water makes a good enema or douche formula.
2. It can be used full strength as a mouthwash or mixed with baking soda for toothpaste.
3. It can be used full strength as a foot bath for athlete’s foot. (Diabetics have found relief from circulation problems by soaking their feet in 1 pint of 3% peroxide mixed with 1 gallon of warm, non-chlorinated water for 30 minutes nightly.)
4. A tablespoon added to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water can be used as a nasal spray. Depending on the degree of sinus involvement, one will have to adjust the amount of peroxide used. I have seen some who can use it at the full 3% strength and others who had difficulty with using a few drops and mixed with a cup of water.
5. 3.5% H202 can be added to pets drinking water at the rate of 1 ounce per quart of non-chlorinated water. Sick cattle reportedly benefit from 1 pint (of 3%) to each 5 gallons of water. (Chickens and cows have remained healthy by using 8 ounces of 35% H202 per 1,000 gallons of drinking water.)

Additional Information
There are two sources you should contact if you have an interest in using hydrogen peroxide therapy. The first, ECHO, was founded by Father Richard Willhelm and is run by Walter Grotz. Their information packet includes a sample newsletter, a list of H202 distributors and several other items. The packet is being made available to interested ALTERNATIVES readers for only $3. Their address is

ECHO Box 126
Delano, MN 55328

If you have an interest in contacting doctors who provide intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapy you can write to the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM) at the address listed earlier in this article. You should also be aware that there are now numerous hydrogen peroxide products on the market. Some are simply peroxide that has been flavored and mixed with sea minerals, aloe vera, inner tree bark or other ingredients to make the peroxide more palatable (Superoxy, Oxy Toddy, etc.).

Others claim to have developed products that deliver more oxygen than does simple hydrogen peroxide (Aerox, Anti-Oxid-10, Di-Oxychloride, Aerobic 07, Aqua Pure, etc.). Basically you’ll end up paying a small fortune and at best achieving the same results you can get for pennies by using hydrogen peroxide.

Conclusion
Hydrogen peroxide is one of the few simple miracle substances still available to the public. Its safety and multiple uses ranks it right up there with DMSO. If you’ve never used either of these compounds you are overlooking two of the most powerful healing tools ever discovered. Most of us started on hydrogen peroxide shortly after birth. Not only does mother’s milk contain high amounts of H202, the amount contained in the first milk (colostrum) is even higher. This seems only reasonable now that we know one of its main functions is to activate and stimulate the immune system. Although I am a strong supporter of H202 therapy, I am not suggesting that everyone needs to be using it. There are probably some individuals whose health and well-being would not be enhanced with hydrogen peroxide. But there are also millions of others who are suffering needlessly because they either do not know about hydrogen peroxide or they have been misinformed about its use.

Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy: Supplement to The Art of Getting Well

Editor’s note: this is a very important article. Most of what I have read, don’t explain what the hydrogenperoxide does in your body. This does. It explains the miraculous changes I have experienced, and I have read in other literature, like the book, One Minute Cure for all Diseases

Here is the gist of what you will learn: What we think and hear, that hydrogenperoxide consumption provides additional oxygen to the oxygen deprived cells is both false and true: the complete truth, in layman’s language is: the hydrogen peroxide nudges the cell to take the oxygen that is available… and that is a big difference. Oxygen deprived cells may be oxygen deprived in a very oxygen rich environment, just like in diabetes type 2, the cells are glucose deprived in a very sweet environment. So the hydrogen peroxide forces the cell to open itself t the oxygen and use it… that is how cancer, etc. get killed. A cancer cell that gets the oxygen in dies as a result… and normal cells gain an incredible amount of health as a result, so much that they can fight off disease vigorously.

Quote: Cancer and many other degenerative diseases are thought to be the results of poor cellular oxidative processes. They are not the results of a reduced supply of oxygen. Persons with anemias or severe lung disease may have an oxygen deficit but do not necessarily have a greater incidence of Cancer or chronic diseases. The problem is not the delivery of oxygen to the cells but utilization by the cells. Hydrogen Peroxide affects utilization or oxidation dramatically whereas hyper-oxygenated or chlorinated molecules have not been shown to be necessary in the body to improve oxidative metabolism.1

I must report on this promising therapy, as so many physicians and patients have given me good tidings from its use. What is probably not so well known by the general public, and many practicing physicians, is that hydrogen peroxide has been used for more than a century, the abstracts of articles published from 1966 through 1988 alone reaches 2″ high when printed on 8-1/2″X11″ paper.

A number of clinics in the United States and Mexico use hydrogen peroxide therapy, as well as other treatment modalities, on a routine basis, usually given by intravenous injection (IV).

Before scoffing, keep in mind that one of the very first lines of defense against any and all microorganisms recognized as invaders by our immunological system are macrophages and leucocytes, one of which uses hydrogen peroxide to oxidize the foreigners; and that vitamin C is effective principally by its ability to promote hydrogen peroxide use against foreign invaders, including parasites, viruses, bacteria, yeast/fungus; and that all body tissues contain catalase and that hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalase is reduced to oxygen and water. So, there is strong reason to believe that added hydrogen peroxide, used properly, may be both effective against certain organisms and safe.

Hydrogen peroxide is an essential metabolite, meaning that it is necessary to life’s process, according to William Campbell Douglass, M.D. of Georgia.

As we age, our immunological system weakens, which permits organisms of opportunity to spread, thereby breeding colonies of organisms whose presence is anathema to good health. Killing these organisms should permit at least temporary respite from microbial warfare, and give your system time to heal.

According to William Campbell Douglass, M.D.2, not only is H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) involved in phagocytosis (killing and absorption of foreign germs), but also “it acts like insulin in that it aids the transport of sugar through the body.” Is is also at least as important, or perhaps more so, than thyroid for heat generation because it creates “intraceullar thermogenesis, a warming of your cells which is absolutely essential to life’s processes.”

Various physicians, including some of our referral physicians, also use hydrogen peroxide therapy for various ailments. Physicians have independently discovered such treatments to be effective against some types of cancer, leukemia, arthritis, coronary heart disease, arterial circulation disorders, colitis, gum diseases, and assorted children’s diseases.

The First International Conference of Bio-oxidative Medicine was held February 17-19, 1989 in Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX. Physicians presented papers on the efficacy and safety of hydrogen peroxide infusions. Since that date the non-profit International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation2 has grown rapidly, attracting many physicians who have also presented many scholarly works based on their work with patients.

While Chelation Therapy is an extremely useful treatment and preventive measure for at least 80% of peripheral circulation problems, it apparently cannot clean out hardened plaque in arteries, like the large heart arteries and the aorta.3

According to Douglas, the Baylor University Medical Center may “have gone a long way toward proving that H2O2 dripped into the leg and carotid vessels of patients known to have severe arteriosclerosis will clear those arteries of disease. When these patients died, autopsies were done to compare arteries that had been treated with H2O2 with those not treated. They reported: `The elution [separation] of lipids from the arterial wall by dilute hydrogen peroxide has been accomplished. . . .’ In simple English that means the plaque buildup was removed by injecting H2O2 into the blood vessels. . . . That was over 20 years ago.”4

Dr. Douglass added that, “The investigators also reported that the improvement is not temporary.”

While H2O2 has been used to good advantage for hardening of the arteries, temporal arteritis, shingles, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the yeast syndrome, various viral infections, including AIDS, certain forms of cancer, dental gum diseases, colds (35% H2O2 in cold humidifier), growing better food, purifying water without chlorine complications, increasing thyroid activity, arthritis, depression, emphysema, lupus erythematosis, multiple sclerosis, . . ., a list of claims made would exceed our space limitations, and so I direct you to others for substantiation and research reports: The International Bio-Oxidative Foundation5 and ECHOS6, as per references.

A word of caution: while many reputable physicians and researchers have made legitimate claims on the safety and efficacy of H2O2 , it is my opinion that there are a lot of scam artists using or selling H2O2 , and so one must be careful. 7 I believe that you can rely on the work of the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation and ECHOS.

There are also many important forgotten facts in the past medical literature. For example, William Campbell Douglass, M.D. reports on “Dr. Edward C. Rosenow, author of 450 published medical papers and associate at the Mayo Clinic for over 60 years . . . proved [more than] 70 years ago (1914) that bacteria could be found consistently in the lymph nodes that drain joints (J.A.M.A., April 11, 1914). He was probably the first scientist to postulate that H2O2 would help arthritis because of its ability to supply oxygen to oxygen-hating organisms causing arthritis (Streptococcus viridans).”

Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D., says, “Perhaps we have become myopic about biological oxidation! The majority of investigational studies seem to concentrate on the damaging effects of biological oxidation and the production of free radicals. Hydrogen peroxide is usually treated as a[n] intermediate or by-product of metabolism and considered of minor significance in metabolic pathways except as it relates to biochemical disruption, tissue or cellular damage.

We feel the physiological effects of bio-oxidation and, in particular hydrogen peroxide, should be investigated with a new prospect.

From the 2,500 or more references on hydrogen peroxide we have collected and reviewed we have come to appreciate this physiological product as a[n] extremely important molecule in metabolism. Hydrogen peroxide is produced by all cells of the body for many different physiological reasons. The granulocytes produce H2O2 as a first line of defense against bacteria, yeast, virus, parasites, macrophages, and most fungi. It is involved in any metabolic pathway which utilize oxidases, peroxidases, cyclo-oxygenase, lipoxygenase, myeloperoxidase, catalase and probably many other enzymes. Hydrogen peroxide is involved in protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, immunity, vitamin and mineral metabolism or any other system you might wish to explore.

Our studies demonstrate a positive metabolic effect to intravenous infusion of H2O2 . Its ability to oxidize almost any physiological or pathological substance, in addition to producing increased tissue and cellular oxygen tensions, has proven it to have therapeutic value.

“We feel the evidence presented should stimulate a new appreciation in the study of the potential therapeutic application of bio-oxidative mechanisms.”

Two Means of Administration

There are two ways to administer hydrogen peroxide for medical purposes. Both means require a pure grade of hydrogen peroxide which is something different than one can purchase at the drug store for topical treatment of sores and wounds. The 3% drugstore hydrogen peroxide also contains tin and phosphate compounds that are dangerous to consume either by means of IV (intravenous) or orally.

For sources of pure “food grade” oral or intravenous hydrogen peroxide, contact ECHO8.

I must caution at the outset that Dr. Farr and some other physicians11 do not approve of use of H2O2 for oral treatment, as so many treatment modalities describe9. The exact method for oral administration can also be obtained from ECHO.

Dr.Farr, and some other physicians, feel that free-radicals are produced in the stomach when H2O2 is administered orally, and these free-radicals are not safe. Combinations of fatty acids which are likely to be in the stomach in the presence of iron and ascorbate may reduce hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl and superoxide free radicals. These may have a deleterious effect upon the gastric and duodonal mucosa, with an increase of glandular stomach erosion, duodonal hyperplasia (abnormal increase in number of cells), adenoma and carcinoma, although in rats there seems to be inconsistencies in the studies related to carcinogenesis using 0.8% concentration for ten weeks versus 1% concentration for 32 weeks, the former indicating carcinogensis, the latter not so.

Since some clinics are using both intravenous and oral techniques with patients successfully, or to some good advantage, apparently not all possible research is in on the subject of oral versus IV administration.

I have twice tried the oral method, and have failed to continue onward, because of a terrible, revolting nausea. Some folks react similarly, others don’t, and some persevere despite all.

As stated earlier, Dr. Farr’s research demonstrates that hydrogen peroxide stimulates oxidative enzymes which increases the metabolic rate. Intravenous use rapidly relieves allergenic reactions, influenzal symptoms, chronic systemic candidiasis, acute viral reactions as a result of the oxidation of antigenic substances and regulation of immune system functions.

To prepare the IV (intravenous) solutions, Dr. Farr begins with 30% H2O2 of USP food or cosmetic grade. Thirty percent H2O2 is a powerful oxidizer and should be handled with extreme caution.

The 30% solution is diluted with equal amounts of sterile distilled water to make a 15% stock solution. The stock solution is passed through a Millipore 0.22mm medium flow filter for sterilization and removal of particulate matter. The stock solution is stored in 100 ml sterile containers and kept refrigerated for future use.

His infusion solutions are then prepared using sterile 5% dextrose in water. The addition of 1/4 ml sterile of the 15% H2O2 stock solution to each 100 ml of carrier solution produces a 0.0375% concentration that is finally used for the intravenous infusions.

Dr. Farr further warns that “caution must be exercised that nothing is added to the H2O2 solution because of its tremendous oxidizing power. Even ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is rapidly oxidized to the mono-dehydroascorbate radical, an unstable compound which degrades into numerous other chemical fragments. . . . Vitamins, minerals, peptides, enzymes, amino acids, heparin, EDTA, or other injectable materials should never be mixed with the H2O2 solution.”

By far the widest use for hydrogen peroxide, whether wisely or not, seems to be that of oral use, where a 35% “food grade” is diluted to a 3% concentration by use of 1 ounce of 35% H2O2 to 11 ounces of distilled water. The 3% concentration is then used by quantities of drops in distilled water, increasing the dosages and number of oral treatments daily throughout a number of weeks.

Many have made the claim that a “die-off” effect is observed, similar in nature to the Herxheimer Effect510.

Further information on the oral use of H2O2 may be acquired from ECHO411.

There are many other uses for hydrogen peroxide for health purposes than simply topical use on sores, or intravenous therapy. With permission from ECHO4, the following is presented:

Other Uses for H2O2

Vegetable soak: Add 1/4 cup to a full sink of cold water. Soak light-skinned (like lettuce) 20 minutes, thicker skinned (like cucumbers) 30 minutes. Drain, dry and refrigerate. Prolongs freshness. If time is a problem, spray vegetables (and fruits) with a solution of 3%. Let stand for a few minutes, rinse and dry.

Leftover tossed salad: Spray with a solution of 1/2 cup water and 1 Tbsp. 3%. Drain, cover and refrigerate.

To freshen kitchen: Keep a spray bottle in the kitchen. Use it to wipe off counter tops and appliances. It will disinfect and give the kitchen a fresh smell. Works great in the refrigerator and kid’s school lunch boxes.

Marinade: Place meat, fish, or poultry in a casserole (avoid using aluminum pans). Cover with hydrogen peroxide. Place loosely covered in refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Rinse and cook.

In the dishwasher: Add 2 ozs to your regular washing formula.

Sprouting seeds: Add 1 oz. to a pint of water and soak the seeds overnight. Add the same amount of hydrogen peroxide each time you rinse the seeds.

House and garden plants: Put 1 oz. in 1 quart of water. Water or mist plants with this solution.

House and garden plants: Put 1 oz. in 1 quart of water. Water or mist plants with this solution.

Insecticide spray: Mix 8 ozs. white sugar, 4-8 ozs. hydrogen peroxide in 1 gallon of water.

Humidifiers and steamers: Mix 1 pint to 1 gallon of water.

Laundry: Add 8 ozs. to your wash in place of bleaches.

Shower: Keep a spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the shower. Spray your body after washing to replace the acid mantle of your skin that soap removes.

Facial: Use on a cotton ball as a facial freshener after washing. (Remember: do not use 35% grade!)

Rejuvenating detoxifying bath: Add 6 ozs. to 1/2 tub of water. May increase hydrogen peroxide up to 2 cups per bath. Soak at least 1/2 hour.

Alternate bath: Add 1/2 cup 35% H2O2 , 1/2 cup sea salt, and 1/2 cup baking soda or epsom salts to bath water and soak.

Foot soak: Add 1-1/2 ozs. 35% H2O2 to 1 gallon water and soak.

Athlete’s foot: Soak feet nightly until condition is improved.

Mouthwash: Add a dash of liquid chlorophyll for flavoring if desired.

Toothpaste: Use baking soda and add enough to make a paste. Or just dip your brush in it and brush.

Douche or enema: Add 6 Tbls. to a quart of distilled water. 6 Tbls. is the maximum amount to use.

Pets: For small animals (dogs & cats) use 1 oz. to 1 qt. of water.

Agriculture: Use 8 ozs. 35% H2O2 per 1000 gallons of water. If you do not have an injector, start out by using 1 tsp. 35% H2O2 in the drinking cup at the stanchion.

Drinking water of ailing cows: Use 1 pt., to 5 gallons of water. To drench sick calves, put 1/3 pt. bottle and fill remainder with water. Do this twice a day. For an adult cow, use the same procedure, but use a quart.

Foliage feed crops: put 5 to 16 ozs. of 35% H2O2 into 20 gallons of water. This is sufficient for 1 acre. Spray on plants early in the morning when the dew is still on them and the birds are singing.

Hydrogen peroxide has been a recognized medicinal source since at least the 1800’s, has gone into disrepute, and now seems to lie in a sort of limbo, so far as established medicine is concerned.

However, research has progressed forward on its use throughout the world, and American doctors of a more open-minded view are persisting in learning its good effects.

Again I caution the reader that there is controversy between the use of oral hydrogen peroxide and use of IV (intravenous) treatment. You must study the issues and come to your own judgement. But please make an educated decision, and whichever you decide, find a physician who knows what he/she is doing.

Stimulation of Oxidative Enzymes

Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D. has used hydrogen peroxide clinically, and has reported on research that he performed that sheds a great deal of light on how H2O2 functions. Contrary to popular belief, the use of H2O2 by either infusion or orally cannot supply as much oxygen as a good, deep breath. Instead, it is the stimulation of oxidative enzymes that does the useful trick. Dr. Farr’s conclusions are appropriate and follow:

Dr. Farr says612, “There are a number of commercial products [that] claim to contain more oxygen on a volumes percent basis than Hydrogen Peroxide and consequently this has been interpreted as meaning they would somehow have more biological activity. There is a great deal of confusion about the difference between the terms `Oxygenation’ and `Oxidation’ when applied to biochemical reactions. A product which contains more oxygen per molecule may or may not have any biological activity.

“We reported113 Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide has an oxidative stimulatory effect when administered to man which appears to be independent of the amount of oxygen produced.

“Hydrogen Peroxide is a very simple molecule produced by almost every cell in the body. This amazing molecule, essential for life in both plant and animal, has been generally overlooked for it’s role in oxidative metabolism. Every chemist knows any reaction must have an opposite reaction to balance the equation. This applies equally to reactions in the test tube and in living cells. The world seems to have been caught up in the idea all biological oxidation is harmful because free-radicals may be produced. Free-radicals can cause lipid peroxidation and membrane damage. Consequently many products, containing anti-oxidants, are being promoted to prevent peroxidation. Some researchers714, including this author, feel peroxidation serves a useful purpose in the biochemical balance and may need stimulating at times instead of preventing.

“Hydrogen Peroxide as an oxidizer, under certain catalytic conditions, can degrade into water and oxygen.
“The fact that Hydrogen Peroxide may increase oxygen tension in the tissue is of secondary importance. Any student of biochemistry knows the principal reaction of an oxidizer, such as Hydrogen Peroxide, is to accept electrons in the RedOx [reduction/oxidation] reactions of the body and has nothing to do with “Oxygen” or “Oxygenation.” It is true Hydrogen Peroxide increases the rate of oxidation in the body815, but this is not because it produces oxygen but rather it stimulates oxidative enzymes.

“Hydrogen Peroxide is a naturally produced purposeful molecule in the body. It functions to aid membrane transport, acts as a hormonal messenger, regulates thermogenesis (heat production), stimulates and regulates immune functions, regulates energy production and many other important metabolic functions. These effects can occur without increasing the amount of oxygen. It is purposely used by the body to produce Hydroxyl Radicals to kill bacteria, virus, fungi, yeast and a number of parasites. This natural killing or protective system has nothing to do with increasing the amount of available oxygen.

“The amount of oxygen produced by a therapeutic infusion of Hydrogen Peroxide is very small. A single breath of fresh air contains many times more oxygen than found in either a therapeutic infusion or in a few drops of 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide taken orally.

“Claims are being made that molecules containing Oxygen and Chlorine, Chlorine or Chlorite ions will sterilize water, milk and almost anything to which they have been added. Chlorine is added to almost all public water supplies for the same purpose. The small amount of oxygen in these molecules have very little to do with this sterilization process. There are many more aerobic (requires oxygen) than anerobic (does not use oxygen) bacteria and increasing the oxygen supply may actually stimulate the growth of the aerobic bacteria. `Oxygen supply’ or `Oxygenation’ is not a credible basis for the promotion of these products. Oxidation is the key word and not Oxygenation.

“Oxidation is the removal of an electron from a molecule which changes electrical energy of the molecule into an oxidized state. The oxidizing agent which accepts the electron through this reaction becomes reduced. This reaction takes place in many biochemical reactions in which OXYGEN is not involved. In oxidative reactions in which Hydrogen Peroxide is involved, oxygen is released when the Hydrogen Peroxide, acting as an oxidizer, is reduced but it is the transfer of the electrons which is important and not the production of Oxygen.

“Manufacturers of products which claim to have the same effect as Hydrogen Peroxide may not have a good understanding of the biochemical role of Hydrogen Peroxide in the body. Some of these products claim to provide more oxygen molecules than Hydrogen Peroxide and that may be true but I know of no scientific evidence to show this enhances oxidative metabolism. Cancer and many other degenerative diseases are thought to be the results of poor cellular oxidative processes. They are not the results of a reduced supply of oxygen. Persons with anemias or severe lung disease may have an oxygen deficit but do not necessarily have a greater incidence of Cancer or chronic diseases. The problem is not the delivery of oxygen to the cells but utilization by the cells. Hydrogen Peroxide affects utilization or oxidation dramatically whereas hyper-oxygenated or chlorinated molecules have not been shown to be necessary in the body to improve oxidative metabolism9.”

Many physicians and clinics are effectively using Hydrogen Peroxide intravenously with their patients.

There is a ton of literature favoring Hydrogen Peroxide treatment for various medical conditions10.16

We suggest that your study of H2O2 may be an important step in your search for good health. It’s worth looking into!

INTRODUCTION:

Next to Apple Cider Vinegar, hydrogen peroxide ranks up there as one of the best household remedies. H202

Besides the obvious (cleansing wounds), did you know that it is probably the best remedy to dissolve ear wax? Yep, and it is used around the world to prevent the flu. Athletes also use hydrogen peroxide to build stamina. Additionally, we have received several emailed reports that hydrogen peroxide has cured melanoma, prostate and mesothelioma (asbestos) cancer.

BOOKS:
Looking for a book about Hydrogen Peroxide cures? Click here to see all the available published books on the subject at amazon.com.

As you will read below, there are quite a few ways that our readers report taking hydrogen peroxide. Some folks put a few drops of food grade (35%) peroxide in water and drink it. Others are big fans of 3% drugstore peroxide -- they bathe in it; splash it on their skin; add it to a sterilized nasal pump and inhale it through the mouth and into the lungs; or soak it in the ears for a few minutes to get rid of viruses. We'll leave it up to you to decide how you want to try it.

Note: Regular bottles of 3% hydrogen peroxide (bought at any drugstore for under $1) is the type of peroxide most commonly referred to below from our readers for the ears. The only grade recommended for internal use is 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, which must be properly diluted down to 3% with water.

Bill Munro uses the 3% drugstore brand for his inhalation method.

COLDS AND FLU:
We heard about this practice years ago. It is reportedly a common practice in India and Germany... During flu season, fill the cap of a bottle of hydrogen peroxide with the liquid, lay down on your side, and pour it into one ear. After a few seconds, the liquid will bubble. Lay with the peroxide fizzing for 5 or 10 minutes, then shake the peroxide out. Repeat on the other ear. This remedy is supposed to cures colds that are already in progress - causing the symptoms to begin to clear up within a few hours. Note: If the virus has been in your blood for some time, this will not work!

Cold and Flu Reader Feedback

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE'S HISTORY:
Ted from Bangkok writes, "Yes, the pharmaceuticals are threatened by hydrogen peroxide cures! Last time, about 120 years ago (during the reign of Queen Victoria), people in India (a British colony then) found that Hydrogen peroxide added in small amounts to drinking water cured a variety of sickness especially colds, flu, cholera, malaria, etc. It threatened the British monopoly drug sales, so they issued a fake news by hiring a news reporter disguised as a doctor to put out the information to the effect that taking hydrogen peroxide causes viral brain damage. It sounded believable, but the child who died of the hydrogen peroxide caused viral brain damage was non-existent.

It worked and the people in India went to buying British drugs, while suppressing India's own Ayurvedic medicine from any sales. It is amazing that Ayurvedic medicine actually survived under British threat for more than 200 years of occupation!

It has happened during the Queen Victoria era, and now it is happening again. History repeats itself, only this time, we now have the internet, which at least for now, the information is free. No doubt, freedom of information is something we just have to always be vigilant and fight for."

EARTH CLINIC REPORT:
11/21/2006: True enough, if a $.79 home remedy jeopardizes the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical and medical industries, there will be an effort to squash it as either dangerous, ineffective, or both. Since July (when we started to receive anti-H202 emails), more articles are appearing on the internet and in magazines about the dangers and ineffectiveness of drinking hydrogen peroxide as reported by the FDA. The latest article we just read came from Consumer Reports, December 2006, page 53. They devote an entire column to the dangers of hydrogen peroxide. The title: "Safety Alert: Hydrogen Peroxide Isn't For Drinking". The article references several websites promoting H202 as a cure for cancer. No doubt the author came to this page too!

To quote from the article: "The idea behind ingesting hydrogen peroxide stems from a now-discredited theory that cancer and AIDS thrive on a lack of oxygen in the body."

Ummmm, discredited by what studies? Show us!

According to the FDA, when taken orally H202 might cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulcers. Hey, so does ibuprofen, which also causes acid reflux in people. We seriously doubt there are many people foolish enough to swallow large quantities of peroxide and suffer these purported side effects. (The standard dosage for food grade peroxide is 3-4 drops per 8 oz of distilled water.) If there are indeed people suffering side effects from these minute dosages, we'd like to see the reports.

4/1/2007: Below is one case sent to us today by Anonymous from New York City, NY. Here is the link to this abstract.

1: J Emerg Med. 2006 May;30(4):403-6.
Hemorrhagic gastritis and gas emboli after ingesting 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Moon JM, Chun BJ, Min YI.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital and Chonnam Medical School, Gwangju, South Korea.

It is well known that ingestion of low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide is usually nontoxic; this does not produce gas embolism and is only a mild irritant to the gastrointestinal tract. We report the case of a 25-year-old woman who ingested one mouthful of 3% hydrogen peroxide and presented to the Emergency Department with persistent vomiting and epigastric pain. The radiographic evaluation found portal venous gas emboli. In addition, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed 2 h after ingestion revealed diffuse hemorrhagic gastritis. She showed a decrease of hemoglobin concentration and a positive test result for occult blood in stool. She was observed for 14 days and discharged. Follow-up endoscopy showed erythematous gastritis. This case illustrates that a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide can cause portal venous gas embolism and severe gastrointestinal injuries even if only a small amount is ingested."

4/2/2007: Ted from Bangkok writes, "No one uses 1% concentration for internal purposes either. So 3% is way beyond that.

In the alternative health field, the maximum is actually 0.5% concentration. Actually and optimum H2O2 concentration was first determined in 1950s by Dr. Reginald Holman by implanting Walker 256 adenocarcinoma tumours. The drinking water for the rat used H2O2 optimum concentration needed to kill the tumors were about 0.45 percent.

Tumours completely disappeared in 15 to 60 days in rats. Of course a better way is to add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in the glass of 0.45% concentration of H2O2. This can be extended to treatment of almost any kinds of conditions, from virus, bacteria, microbial infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis, flu, etc. My own experience of using just baking soda (also increases the body's oxygen) and ascorbate vitamin C about three weeks for a small tumor to go into remission.

A more effective I think in the future of peroxide therapy is to add baking soda to the 0.45% concentration to normal drinking water since baking soda is alkaline and increases oxygen, while the peroxide furthers this natural increase. Ted"


CHECKING FOR STABILIZERS IN H202
Ted from Bangkok writes, "There is a simple way to see if Hydrogen Peroxide contains stabilizers: Pour 1/2 cap of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water. If the color has yellow (or other off colors), it has a stabilizer. It is best to set it out in the sun where it is easier to see. If the H202 remains colorless when mixed in a glass of water, it usually does not have a stabilizer.

Almost all H2O2 sold in drug stores will have stabilizers, actually to discourage people to use them internally. So you can use this as a way to compare them. Basically, H2O2 poured into a clean glass and left out in a sun covered by a dish should not have air bubbles. If it does, there are metal contaminants. If you are asking for trouble, a drop of ammonia solution in H2O2 mixed in water will cause a rapid air bubble generation. It is more unstable if it has stabilizers. You can try the experiment and compare the results.

The test for this is not perfect one, but the key is the color, even when you add just a small amount of water in direct sunlight. Also, a good quality H2O2 doesn't get small bubbles during storage.

By the way, an easy way to test the quality of your drinking water is to add 10% of 3% H2O2 to 90% Water and perform the test by noticing air bubbles. If there are a lot of air bubbles for the next 6 hours, then the water has either too much organic residues OR heavy metals. During the test please keep in places AWAY from children. After the test immediately discard the contents into the sink. Ted"

09/14/2007: Ron from Temiskaming Shores, Canada writes: "Great site. I wanted to put my 2 cents in about Hydrogen Pyroxide (HP). I went to Wal-Mart to purchase some HP and when I got it home I noticed that my bottle of HP had the skull and cross bones on the front of it. Yikes!! The lable reads "POISON" because this particular brand contains stablizers. The previous brand that I bought did not have stablizers in it and did not have the skull and cross bones symbol on the front. I dont't think I want to try to ingest the poison type of HP. I think readers should be made aware that there is a difference and to be careful when buying HP, to make sure they find one without stablizers."

09/17/2007: Ted from Bangkok replies, "Remedies require food grade H2O2 except in instances of external use. H2O2 can't be labelled poison if it is for external use (as in antiseptics) since other contact poisons go directly through the skin killing you. Stabilizers can't do this. Most labeling no longer use the skull and bones, at least not on H2O2, since they often more cause skin burns if used in high concentration and are classified as caustic solutions. Even hydrochloric acid might also be considered a poison, but our stomach produce plenty of it. I don't think labels are consistent in classifying it"



*** HYDROGEN PEROXIDE NO LONGER RECOMMENDED FOR WOUND CARE ***
2/15/2008: Dawn (R. N.) from Allen, Texas writes: "Hydrogen peroxide was once used for cleaning wounds but research has shown it is too harsh for wound care. It kills healthy tissue, is cytotoxic, and actually delays wound healing. Unfortunately, some health professionals have not kept current on changes in wound care and still recommend H2O2. I cannot comment on the other clains on your page, but H2O2 for wound care is definitely inappropriate."


FOOD GRADE WARNINGS:
04/18/2006: John from Sault Ste Marie, MI writes, "I'd be very wary of recommending that anyone use 35% hydrogen peroxide unless they've had HAZMAT training or the equivalent. At that concentration H2O2 is extremely corrosive and causes severe burns; in other words, it's a very hazardous chemical that even professional chemists (and I am one) must handle using appropriate safety equipment (rubber gloves, safety goggles, protective lab coat). I know this from experience because I was badly burned by 35% H2O2 while carrying out chemistry research. It's irresponsible to imply that this stuff is harmless and to recommend it to people who have no experience handling hazardous materials."


04/10/2009: David from Tampa, FL writes, "I have used food grade H2O for years and if you do spill it on yourself just rinse with water for a few minutes - it will turn your skin white and it is temporary and there is no prolonged damage. Yes, you do have to be careful but not afraid."

EARTH CLINIC'S ADDITIONAL WARNING NOTE:
Please be very careful when transporting food grade hydrogen peroxide after the bottle has been opened. Make sure you keep the bottle upright. Once the seal has been removed upon opening, these caps can leak. Food grade will cause the skin to burn and turn white. Yes, we learned the hard way! Luckily, skin will return to normal after 30 minutes or less if you rinse off the peroxide quickly. By the way, the same whitening of skin effect happens when you dip your fingertips in drugstore 3% H202 for a minute or more. It too goes away within 30 minutes...

_________________________________________________________________
Recently, while surfing the Internet looking at natural cures, I stumbled upon the One Minute Cure website that claims you can heal almost any disease by taking a daily dose of a particular product (not their own). At first, I thought that it was surely some sort of snake oil scam. But after doing some research, I began to think differently.

To understand how it works, you have to know a little bit about biology. And the key word here is aerobic. An aerobic organism is one that needs oxygen to survive. All people, plants and animals are aerobic organisms.

However, most bacteria and viruses that cause diseases are anaerobic. This means that they thrive in low oxygen environments. In most of us, our blood cells contain just a small amount of oxygen; providing an ideal environment for anaerobic organisms. This allows disease causing anaerobic bacteria and viruses to flourish within our bodies.

And the point of the One Minute Cure website is really simple; introduce more oxygen into your system and these dangerous disease causing anaerobic organisms will disappear; eliminating many diseases and making you healthier. After I learned this information, it all seemed very logical.

The site indicates that there are hundreds of physical problems and diseases that this natural therapy can cure. Among them are:

Allergies

Arthritis

Bronchitis

Chronic Pain

Digestion Problems

Eczema

Headaches

Influenza

Migraines

Sinusitis

Sore Throat

(And although I hesitate to mention it – even Cancer, Emphysema
, and Parkinson’s disease among others.)

Because I am a big fan of natural cures, I immediately ordered the book. I just got it yesterday, but I will check it out and be applying their natural cure techniques. To check it out for yourself, go to Natural Cures.
